A client of mine was in an accident - she was hit by another driver. We're thinking of trying to subpoena the other driver's cell phone records to see if they were on the phone at the time, which would arguably go to show negligence on the part of the other driver.
Anyone have any experience with this type of records request? Any ideas how difficult it would be?
Many, many thanks in advance.

i've done this before and it's very easy but i do not do civil work. what information do you have? do you know the number and/or carrier?

No on both - a client, a public entity, is curious about whether they can get cell phone records for employees who are in accidents on work hours to see if they were on the phone at the time.

At this point, hypothetical.
