More details to this question:
I have signed a hold harmless agreement that will hold another person harmless for an incident that has caused me health problems and in exchange I am asking for information about the incident. Can I send the agreement, with my signature, to the other person before I receive the information? Having us both sign it in an attorney's office is not possible.

Yes, but obviously the contract will provide that you agree to hold this person harmless in return for the information he has promised to provide, and that he is to provide the information to you within a certain time period. If he does not provide the information, you would not be bound to hold him harmless.
