In a Buffalo personal injury case, a Verified Bill of Particulars is one of the documents that the defendant may request from you and your attorney when attempting to gather information about your case.
The laws of New York State govern what type of information can be requested in a Verified Bill of Particulars, but these regulations are somewhat loose, and the defense may seek information that your attorney does not wish to disclose. When that happens, the intervention of a judge may be necessary to determine whether the defendant is entitled to the information or if it is beyond the scope of a Bill of Particulars.
Typical requests in a Verified Bill of Particulars include items such as the names of your doctors, what injuries you are claiming, and any names or statements of witnesses to the incident in your possession. The defense may also requests authorizations executed by you allowing them to obtain medical, employment or other records.
For it to be considered “verified,” you will be required to sign a notarized statement attached to the Bill of Particulars confirming that you have read it and its contents are, to the best of your knowledge, accurate.
Your attorney may also request a Bill of Particulars from the defense requesting additional details regarding any defenses they have raised in your case. This document will usually be submitted after the defense has requested its Verified Bill of Particulars from you.
