OPINION

CLAYTON, JUDGE:

Gary Bryant and Erica Brown appeal the Jefferson Circuit Court order compelling them to participate in pre-litigation depositions and produce documents to Allstate Property and Casualty Company1 (“Allstate”). Allstate filed the motion under Kentucky Civil Rules (CR) 27.01, which allows the taking of pre-action depositions and production of documents. Bryant and Brown maintain the trial court improperly granted the insurance company’s motion for pre-litigation depositions. After careful consideration, we reverse the trial court’s decision.
