Car Accident Deposition Questions
This question is common among injured victims of PHILADELPHIA CAR ACCIDENT LAWYER. Assume for the moment that you or a loved one has a Personal Injury claim from a Car Accident and for a number of possible reasons, your claim does not settle, and a lawsuit is filed on your behalf.
At this point, you are looking at the likelihood that the lawyer of the driver at fault (usually appointed by an insurance company) will be asking to take your deposition. A deposition is a tool that lawyers use to learn about your case from you.
It is like a statement, but more formal. There is a court reporter with a steno writer (taking down what we say word for word) just like in an actual courtroom. However, it is almost always in a lawyer’s office and at deposition, you are asked a number of questions, some personal, about your life, and the claim that you are bringing.
The deposition is just like you being on a witness stand in court without the stand and the courtroom. It is widely thought by most trial lawyers as one of the most important events in a person’s case.
