    Default Calling Witnesses to Mediations

    My question involves an injury that occurred in the state of: California

    I am being sued over a minor auto accident that happened when I was backing out of a parking space in front of a shopping plaza. I had 3 friends with me.

    The three of us have drifted apart over the past months for reasons unrelated to the accident (2 broke up with 2 of my close male friends, the other was never really a good friend at all - on top of that we're all busy working college students who live in separate cities).

    My questions:
    1) Will the plaintiff's lawyer be contacting the other passengers that were in my vehicle during the discovery process to use their statements against me?
    -Have they already done this? (Their info is on the police report)

    2) Could my passengers be called to out-of-court mediations/arbitrations?

    3) Should I alert my passengers that this is going on?

    4) Or is #3 something I should leave up to my lawyer (since I have not spoken to anyone about this case - and I have not seen these ladies in months.) I do not know if contacting them would hurt or help me, I do want to keep this issue as confidential as possible.

    Default Re: Calling Witnesses to Mediations?

    1: Probably and I don't know the lawyer so I couldn't tell you that one.

    2 and 3: Yes.
