What to do during a deposition…
A local L.A. Personal Injury Attoreny teaches you how to act during a deposition. Always maintain your guard during a deposition. Remember that the attorney for the insurance company or the defendant is not your friend, although he or she may appear very friendly, professional and may even be like-able. A deposition, depending on the case, can go on for hours or even days. If you are tired or disoriented, it would be in your best interest to request a break, stretch out, get a drink of water and clear your head before proceeding. After the attorney for the other side is done with the questioning, your attorney will have an opportunity to ask you more questions or clarify an answer you gave earlier. Sometimes, for strategic reasons, your personal injury attorney may decide not to ask you any questions. In addition to you, others such as insurance company representatives and doctors could also be deposed in accident cases.
