Q&A
The accident happened two years ago. Why am I being sued now?
So I got sued. What happens next, and how long will it take?
What should I do if I receive a summons and complaint, or any other legal papers?
Is this case going to settle? Or will it go to trial?
I do not think that the plaintiff's case has any merit. Why can't I just get it dismissed?
What are my obligations to cooperate with my defense counsel?
What if I want to meet with my attorney at anytime in advance of a significant event during the course of the lawsuit (i.e. deposition, trial, etc.)?
If I have to make an appearance at a deposition or trial, how should I dress?
If I am scheduled for a deposition, will I have sufficient time to meet with my counsel in advance of that deposition?
I have been sued, but I want to assert a claim back against the plaintiff for my own injuries or property damage. Can I retain the services of this firm for that purpose?
What are Interrogatories?
What is a deposition?
I have received a letter from my insurance carrier indicating that I could hire my own lawyer. Should I do so at this time?

QUESTION
What are Interrogatories?
ANSWER
Interrogatories are a set of questions, which are usually submitted by the opposing party to be answered by you and then verified by you signing what is known as a "verification page" in the presence of a notary public. This verification page attests to the fact that you believe that all of the answers to the Interrogatories or questions are true and accurate.
If Interrogatories are submitted to you and you need assistance in responding to them, you should contact the office of your defense counsel so that arrangements can be made for a personal meeting to review those Interrogatories and the proposed answers.
