The attorney is performing the activity known as discovery, which is the process of gathering evidence and information before a trial. The attorney can review medical records, conduct interviews, and request documents to help build their case. It is not burden of proof, which refers to the obligation to prove a case in court, or complaint, which is the initial filing of a lawsuit. Civil action is a more general term that refers to any type of lawsuit in a civil court.
