  Interrogatories
Interrogatories are just a set of questions typically posed to an adverse party in litigation.
This distinguishes your responses to interrogatories from responses to requests for production of documents and requests for admissions, neither of which are under oath.
The interrogatory may ask you to identify all of the physicians you have seen in the last 10 years, and it may ask for their addresses, telephone numbers, charges, diagnoses, and treatments.

 Sample Interrogatories | Miller & Zois, Maryland Injury Lawyer
Because the number of interrogatories permitted is restricted to thirty, interrogatories should be carefully drafted to request only information not readily available from other sources that cannot be disposed of with, for example, requests for admission.
Interrogatories are frequently the best line of discovery for the Maryland lawyer to know the factual basis on which the defendant's lawyer intends to defend the case and the areas the plaintiff's lawyer needs to explore further with other discovery mechanisms.
The most classic lawyer objection is that the interrogatory question asked is objectionable under Maryland law on the grounds that it is "vague, burdensome, over broad, and not reasonably calculated to lead to admissible evidence." Maryland defense lawyers in personal injury cases use this objection to the simplest of questions.

The party who propounded an interrogatory to which an amended answer has been served may move for an order that the initial answer to that interrogatory be deemed binding on the responding party for the purpose of the pending action.

 Interrogatories - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In law, interrogatories are a formal set of written questions propounded by one litigant and required to be answered by an adversary, in order to clarify matters of evidence and help to determine in advance what facts will be presented at any trial in the case.
The vast majority of such questions are to find background information about the litigants that is not specific to each case, so it is common to use pre-printed forms containing standard questions that are generally relevant to the type of case at hand, called form interrogatories.
These may even be determined by statute or court rules.

Be wary, however, of the overzealous defendant's personal injury lawyer deeming a question asking about, for example, communications of a particular type as multiple interrogatories because it requests time, place, persons present, etc. This type of request really should be considered one interrogatory.
