INTERROGATORIES
1. Your response to request for admissions indicates that you
believe that Plaintiff was not injured in any way in this car
crash. See Plaintiff's First Set of Request for Admissions, Question
and Answer #15, which states "Plaintiff was injured as a
result of the car crash." Set forth the reasonable inquiry
that you made before denying Request for Admission #15 and set
forth all facts upon which you intend to rely upon at trial to
support your denial. If the due diligence inquiry that you conducted
in answering this request for admission was different from the
one you conducted as an insurance company investigating the claim
that your insured made under your insurance contract with her,
set forth the nature and scope of that inquiry.
2. You have indicated that the treatment given and the bill for
services rendered to Plaintiff at Union Memorial Hospital, the
Injury Treatment Center of Maryland, Dr. Cyrus Pezeshki, Dr. Kyu
C. Lee, Albert Folgueras, Joseph A. Ciotola, Jr., Baltimore Imaging
Center, and National Medical Imaging were fair, reasonable, necessary,
and causally related to the car crash complained of in the Plaintiff's
Complaint. See Plaintiff First Set of Request for Admissions,
Question and Answer, #21- #28. (Note: GEICO did not answer Request
#28 but Plaintiff assumes this was a typographical error and GEICO
intended to deny this request.) Set forth the reasonable inquiry
that you made before denying these requests and set forth all
facts upon which you intend to rely upon at trial to support your
denial. If the due diligence inquiry that you conducted in answering
these requests for admission was different from the one you conducted
as an insurance company investigating the claim that your insured
made under your insurance contract with her, set forth the nature
and scope of that inquiry.
3. Does GEICO believe that it owes Plaintiff any money under GEICO's
insurance contract with her?
4. Does GEICO believe that Plaintiff has been dishonest with them
regarding the car crash and the injuries she suffered? If so,
state with specificity what facts she gave you that you believe
were dishonest? Set forth in your answer who made the determination
that she was dishonest in the information she relayed to you.
5. Does the Defendant know of any person believed or understood
by Defendant to have personal knowledge of the allegations as
set forth in the Complaint on the damages claimed by Plaintiff?
