I just found out I may be going to jail!!
or at least be held for "contempt".
The back story. A little while back a fellow motorist claimed I had backed into him in a parking lot. We exchanged insurance info at the scene and as expected he made a claim with insurance. As part of this claim I received what was explained to me as a "Discovery " questionnaire. This questionnaire had a couple questions that I refused to answer. It now seems that I have to appear in front of a Judge to either answer the questions, provide an acceptable reason why I shouldn't answer or be found in contempt. I've made considerable effort over the years to keep personal info "off the radar" and feel that providing this information to a third party (the guy suing me not necessarily the court) would be contrary to those efforts. I find it very ironic that for all the shenanigans that I should/could be in jail for I'm getting called to the bench for refusing to answer a couple personal questions. This could get interesting.

sound to me like you don't have an expensive enough lawyer.
...judges are lawyers too, and they usually like to see their profession thrive.

Tell them to contact your agent (who can stonewall them). IMO, if this third party is using "representation" to contact you, you should use "representation" to respond.

My insurance company is handling the claim for me. They have assigned an attorney to the case. So far I'm very happy with the attorney assigned to the case. This questionnaire was presented to me from my attorney and I had been advised in advance what to expect if I refused to answer the questions. So far everything is going just as I was told it would.

I'm no lawyer, but it sounds like you are getting ready to be sued.

Unless you backed into a million dollar show car even low insurance would pay to fix it. I guees you backed into a real jerk.

Then I'd ride with Island...if you plan on sticking to your guns, it may be best to hire your own attorney.

What kind of speed was involved and what were the damages $$ estimates, it all seems silly to me with what little you have shared, sounds like the other party is a real dbag.
