In order to obtain financial compensation in a medical malpractice lawsuit, an injured patient must prove that inadequate medical treatment led to injury. This requires establishing four pillars of law which are professional obligations and breach of this duty, injury and resulting damages.
Discovery

Interrogatories are composed of questions to which the opposing party must respond to under oath. They can be used to establish the facts that will be presented in court. Demands for the production of documents permit tangible evidence to be retrieved such as medical records or test results.
In many cases, your attorney will attend the defendant's deposition which is an audio recording of a question and answer session. This permits your lawyer to ask the physician or witnesses questions that might not be allowed at trial and can be extremely effective in a case with expert witnesses.

The parties typically allow their communication to go through their lawyer, rather than directly between themselves at this stage because direct communications could be used against them later in court. If the mediation continues it's a good idea to focus on your case's strengths, and be ready to acknowledge your case's weaknesses.
