Most defense attorneys have never grasped the power of responding to a new lawsuit by both an answer and also a set of interrogatories. This simple tactic impresses the plaintiff’s attorney. It is important to make that impression, because it gives you a psychological advantage. Additionally and importantly, this simple tactic requires the plaintiff’s attorney to invest valuable attorney time in responding to you, rather than attacking you. This simple tactic impresses also your defendant client, and also your client’s insurer, with your efficiency and dedication to the cause of defense. It is important to make that impression. Your defendant client will listen to you best if he/she thinks you are aggressively defending. The insurer rarely sees defense attorneys that immediately take the initiative; you will stand out from the pack when the next defense case comes up for assignment. But in federal court and some state jurisdictions there must be some sort of an initial “voluntary” exchange of information between the parties before the defendant can serve discovery interrogatories. E.g., see the federal rule.
In such a jurisdiction, you cannot serve a set of interrogatories with your answer. How do you still gain -- in the first hour of work on the file -- the initiative and power of putting the plaintiff’s attorney staff into using their time to respond to you. The answer in a bodily injury case --- send a letter asking for the sort of computations that take plaintiff’s staff time to prepare. Be nice, but insistent that the federal rules of procedure for initial disclosure requires an initial disclosure of all documents that the disclosing party may use to support its claims and a meaningful, complete-to-date disclosure of a computation of damages, with all records on which the computation has been based and all documents which may be used to support damages to date. Although it can be modified for other courts and other types of cases, this form is designed for federal bodily injury cases." This form on sale here # BI3005 Defense Demand Damages Disclosure is a letter you can use to gain that initiative in an aggressive manner. (Remember: impress your client; send a copy of the letter to your defendant client and insurer, along with your answer to the complaint.) |
