    What MUST I provide to the defendants before trial?
    I had a pretrial conference re: my lawsuit against an association for damage to my car. So far, things are looking good for me as we go forward to a trial (the defendants/attorney were encouraged by the mediator to make an offer, but they refused). I am alone in this, as I have no attorney.

    My question is this:

    Do I have to provide any and all documents that are requested by the defendants and their attorney? I've done some research regarding this, and I only found that I must provide them with any documents that I used to FILE. That would be the estimate for repair only. That is the only thing that I attached to my form. The defendants are asking me for more (photos, my insurance coverage and policy #, police report, etc.). What should I do? Do I really have to help them build a good case for themselves? If I must, I must... but I surely hope that I don't have to. By the way, this is in the state of Florida.

    Thank you in advance.

    They are entitled to anything that may be presented as evidence during the trial.

    They are entitled, but am I required to provide it by law?
