Can I object to questions on a written interrogatory?
I asked for a hearing in my worker’s compensation case. The hearing was to be to resolve an administrative/financial issue, and is not related to medical care, causation of injury, or anything related to my medical care. I am being deposed in December, and they sent me a written interrogatory to fill out. Their attorney is asking a lot about medical records, medical history, etc. None of that is relevant to the hearing. They also want me to sign a release for my medical records. Can I object to answering those questions because they are irrelevant to the hearing? Also, they already have all my medical records. I do not have an attorney, nor can I afford one.
Thanks,
Maria

It might not be relevant to that specific hearing, but medical records are relevant in every worker’s compensation case.
And technically, you can object, but legally, you would have to object AND STILL produce the answers. And obviously, they don’t have all of your records, or they wouldn’t be asking for the release. I would sign the release and be as truthful as possible on the interrogatories — any objections will only slow the process and make it harder on you. Trust me.
This is a question for your attorney.
Your attorney (you do have one, don’t you?) should review the answers before you send it in.
If you can’t affornd an attorney, get one anyway, becaus you wuill be eaten for lunch if you don’t.
The evidence for that is in your question – not understainding thta these questions are there to give you a chance to tell the story a little differently each time, whch will be used to call your credibility into question.
Think about what you will get if you win. Think about how it will sound to an attorney to help you do that so you can pay them.

Lucky you still have plenty of time, but with holidays coming, you should act soon!
