Could I request med records from a co-defendant if my client has been added to a case late and most discovery has already been exchanged??

Yes. We do it all the time. You can do it either as formal discovery and request all medical records or just send an email and ask. I assume you are not adverse to the other defendant?

Idk your market, but here in florida you can do a request for copies so they have to send you all documents it received to date.

The co-defendant’s medical records or the plaintiff’s medical records from the co-defendant?

In my state, we have a way to demand prior discovery. We file “Plaintiffs/Defendants’ Demand for Prior Discovery” and all parties are required to disclose what they’ve disclosed thus far in the case, without having to send out formal written discovery requests for them.

Yes you can absolutely do this. We actually do this all the time and its a fairly easy process.

I currently work at a small PI firm in Atlanta were EVERYTHING is settled presuit. If we’re unable to settle, then it’s referred to another firm for litigation. This whole process seems very atypical to me and the attorneys rarely touch a file until the first liability offer is received. The paralegals handle everything from intake to drafting the demands. The attorney briefly skims (does NOT read) the demand packages and signs. Is this ethical?? Anyone else work at a firm that is run this way??
