Legal Question in Personal Injury in Virginia
I filed a lawsuit against the girl who hit my car 6 months ago. The original court was moved to a later date, and i was told to submit a bills of particulars to the girls lawyer and the court. now her lawyer is asking for the proof of the bills that incured after the accident or "they will object tothe introduction of the aforementiond bils at trial". Am I required by the law to provide it?? should i just send it to them and not to worry about it. I'm scared they can use against me somehow. However, i have all the receipts. and i live in Virginia

This discovery request from the defendant's counsel is reasonable and should be complied with. Otherwise, neither the defendant, her attorney, nor the court itself would likely have any way to determine whether your claims for damages are accurate and reasonable. (Furthermore, if the matter is headed for trial, you had better get a lawyer to represent you.)
