• In today’s fast-paced legal litigation environment, it is extremely tempting to send out “cookie-cutter” written discovery to the adverse counsel. This templated approach is generally sufficient in simple personal injury cases; however, as the fact-pattern of a personal injury case becomes more complex (e.g. the defendant is a company/corporation; the fact pattern involves culpability of more than one defendant; the fact pattern warrants numerous and separate allegations against the defendant and/or defendants) boiler-plate written discovery is not only deficient, it can become a legal malpractice issue. As such, when handling complex personal injury cases, it is generally prudent to start at the end and work backwards. Indeed, the last step during the entire trial process is for the jury to decide your client’s fate based on simple yet extremely important pieces of information: the jury charges. Therefore, by starting your case by unequivocally understanding what the jury charges will be at the very end (e.g. at times eight to ten months from the date of the client sign-up), all subsequent written discovery can now be narrowly tailored to meet and exceed the demands of the jury charge. This process will likely be an invaluable tool in effectively and efficiently resolving your clients’ cases, DRAFTING MEANINGFUL DISCOVERY, Corpus Christi Association Of Legal Professionals
