I know what discovery is when we processed at criminal court as retired law enforcement, but has anyone been through discovery for a car accident for their injury?

I have Discovery set for Friday.

I have never had an IME, or any medical exams by their side, there were depositions. The attorney wanted me to settle for $30,000. The girl gave conflicting testimony, the investagating officer, a co worker who also was the best friends of this girls Uncle (a police Sgt.) so he denied my injuries, police car damage, and did not arrest or charge the girl for driving DUI.
With the police officer sticking up for friends neice it hurts my case.

They are saying I was not hurt that night, did not go to ER, and he denies I told him the next day of my pain. The doctor took me out of work. W/C was settled long ago while in college for pennies.

THis girl hit and run, DUI, fleed from the second officer, did not take her for D&A test, left her drive off as she was his friends neice he said......

They want me to settle for the $30,000.
They offered my husband $5,000.
I lost over $100,000 in wages, medical is about 10 thousand +, retirement, $250,000, retraining was $38,000,
Total lifetime loss was $470,000, not counting pain and suffering, or my husbands losses.
PO'd but glad it will be moving along.......
Hopefully a better offer by Friday.
