Re: request for admissions

The statements that the defendant was suppose to admit or deny are deemed admitted. You may be able to file a motion to escape this problem if you have good cause for not having responded in a timely manner. If your lawyer dropped the ball and the mistake causes you to lose an otherwise winable case, you may have a viable legal malpractice claim against your lawyer. Good luck.
