The police report for this accident lists several witnesses. One witness, named Wilma, was driving her automobile near the bus at the time of the accident. Another witness named Wally was standing on a hill, approximately one mile from the accident scene. Wally says that he saw Bud talking to himself just prior to the accident, which occurred on a clear and moonlit night. All pleadings have been filed, and this case is thus ripe for discovery.
Tuck files a motion seeking a number of standard psychiatric and eye examinations of Bud.
None of these tests are unusual, nor are any of them painful or harmful in any way. They will be performed by qualified experts in their respective fields. The parties exchange interrogatories. Paul seeks income and insurance information from Deftco. Paul also asks Bud whether he was fired after this accident, or reassigned to another job or route for Deftco.
