Illuminate — Rivera v. Metro Freight Corp. · Deposition prep

I just uploaded the police report from the crash. Prep me to depose the other driver.

Illuminate

Start with his own words to the officer — he never saw your client until impact [S1, p.2]. Lock in his speed and lane before he knows why you’re asking [A12]. Then hand him the diagram — it contradicts what he told his carrier [S1, p.4].

Drafting: Deposition outline — defendant driver

Upload case files, ask me a question — or tell me what you want to work on.

1. Officer Ramos took your statement at the scene — that’s your signature on page two, isn’t it? [S1, p.2]

II. Speed & Lane

4. You told the officer forty — you told your carrier thirty. Which one is true? [S1, p.4]

What it does

“One page. That’s all he brought me.”
Andrew J. Smiley — on a real intake

A new client. A police report. No file. That’s the whole story — and it’s enough.

Drop that one page into Illuminate and it tells you who the players are. What’s at risk. What has to be filed, and by when.

Then it builds the action plan — and starts drafting: the letter of representation, the preservation letters, the claim letter. The complaint.

It gets you ninety percent of the way there. The last ten percent — reading every word, checking every cite — is the job. That part stays yours.

From one police report

The parties, the carriers, the deadlines
A case assessment and an action plan
Letters of representation and preservation
The claim letter, drafted on your letterhead
A first draft of the complaint

Minutes, not weeks. Cited, so you can check it before anything goes out.
