What “Discovery” Means
Discovery is the formal evidence-exchange phase of a lawsuit: written questions (interrogatories), document requests, depositions under oath, and requests for admission. Its purpose is to eliminate surprise — both sides learn the evidence before trial.
Why It Matters in Your Texas Case
Discovery is where corporate defendants lose their hiding places. Inspection logs contradict “no notice” defenses; telematics contradict “our driver was careful”; corporate representatives answer under oath for safety budgets and shortcuts. McKay Law treats discovery as offense: precisely targeted requests, depositions that pin testimony down, and motion practice when defendants stonewall. Case value typically rises through discovery as defense risk clarifies — which is why filing suit, when insurers won’t be fair, so often changes the number.
