These documents can take many forms, including physical paper files, electronic data, emails, or even text messages. The exact nature and scope of the documents to be disclosed depend on the specifics of your case. For example, in a car accident case, disclosure might focus more on police reports, insurance policies, and accident scene photos, while a nursing home abuse case might involve medical records, staff communication logs, and facility inspection reports.
Historically, personal injury cases followed rules for “standard disclosure,” requiring both sides to share any documents they believed were relevant to the case. However, this approach often led to disputes over what was considered relevant. Today, there are various disclosure rules, and the judge overseeing your case will determine which rules apply based on the type of case you are pursuing.
Your attorney can also use the broader discovery process to request additional documents or evidence that may not be automatically disclosed. This might include depositions, subpoenas for records from third parties, or interrogatories (written questions that the other party must answer under oath). The goal is to ensure that you have access to all the information necessary to build a strong case.
It’s important to note that if the other party fails to disclose something they are obligated to share, significant consequences can follow. For example, if it becomes clear during the trial that the defendant withheld critical evidence, the court may impose penalties, such as fines, sanctions, or even rulings that favor the plaintiff.
