What is a deposition in a personal injury lawsuit?

A deposition is sworn testimony given outside of court, typically in an attorney's office, and recorded by a court reporter. During your deposition, the defense attorney will ask questions about the accident, your injuries, medical treatment, and how the injury has affected your life. Your attorney will be present to object to improper questions and protect your rights. Depositions serve multiple purposes: gathering information, assessing witness credibility, and preserving testimony for trial. At Kane Trial Law, we thoroughly prepare our clients for depositions so they know what to expect and can testify confidently.
