Preparation is key for a successful deposition. If your case advances to this stage, understanding what to expect and how to prepare can make all the difference. A deposition involves giving sworn testimony during the discovery phase. It’s an opportunity for the opposing side to hear directly from you and gather evidence to assess the case. Your testimony helps provide context to the medical records and documents they’ve reviewed.Typically, depositions include the witness, their attorney, opposing counsel, and a court reporter. Questions will mainly come from the opposing lawyer, often representing the defendant’s insurance company. Each lawyer’s approach varies, so your attorney will guide you on what to expect and support you throughout the process.Depositions can be mentally taxing. Preparing in advance with your attorney will help you present your story confidently and accurately. While depositions are essential, many cases settle afterward, during mediation or pre-trial discussions. Taking this step seriously can strengthen your case and pave the way for a fair resolution.=== This material is provided for informational use only, and is in no way intended to constitute legal advice.
