Re: depoisition
If you have an attorney, he'll be able to give you specific advice and be able to handle the matter correctly by filing motions for any appropriate protective orders. All you can be given here are 'handy hints' and general direction and guidance. There may, or may not, be grounds to object to the deposition document request based on privacy or other things, but that decision will require review of all the facts with you. Depositions are quite wide reaching, and the other side is generally entitled to any relevant material, and your income is probably relevant. If you dont' have counsel, and you're serious about getting counsel, feel free to contact me.
Re: depoisition
Your lawyer should be able to file for a protective order. If you were really rear-ended by a semi and you don't have a lawyer, what does that say about you?
Re: depoisition
You do have statutory and Constitutional right to privacy. Do not let them walk all over you. If you're unrepresented, I strongly recommend you to get a lawyer.
