What’s the Purpose of a Deposition in a Personal Injury Case?
Depositions assist the court and the two implicated parties, the injured and the liable, by sharing information about the facts of a personal injury case. A deposition is a legally admissible testimony where an attorney asks the deposed a series of questions about the case.
In a personal injury case, a host of people may be called to give a deposition. For example, an eyewitness may have valuable information about the property where a slip and fall occurred. The injured party and the potentially liable party almost always give depositions in personal injury cases.
The information obtained in depositions can go a long way to proving liability. Learn how a lawyer can assist you in the deposition process.
