They can also find every claim you have ever made, every application for insurance, and may require you to sign medical authorizations to get records from every single doctor you have ever seen, military records, and if you are suing for lost income, they will be able to get all employment records. There may be surveillance as well. It’s a very invasive process. God forbid you forget you had back pain years ago or took a few days off for knee pain. Never underestimate how much power insurance companies have to keep verdicts and settlements down.
