What should I expect at a deposition in a burn injury case?
A deposition in a burn injury case in New Hampshire is a legal process in which an individual (usually the person who was injured) is asked questions about the incident. The deposition is one step in the legal process and allows both parties to gain insight into the events that happened in the case. At the deposition, a court reporter will be present to record the proceedings. The attorney for the injured person will ask questions about the events leading up to and following the burn injury. The questions may include identifying information (such as the injured person’s name, address, and date of birth) as well as details related to the incident (such as what happened, how it happened, where it happened, and who was present). The injured person will be expected to answer all questions truthfully and thoroughly. The attorney for the injured person may also ask follow-up questions to clarify any of the answers provided. The attorney for the other party may also have the opportunity to ask the injured person questions, although the attorney for the injured person will likely object to some of the questions. No one else is allowed to be present during the deposition (except for the court reporter). At the end of the deposition, the court reporter will be asked to make a transcript of the proceedings, which will be submitted as evidence in the case.
