What can I expect during a personal injury deposition?
A deposition is an important part of a personal injury case in Alaska. A deposition is a sworn statement given by a witness in the case and it can be used as evidence in court. During a deposition, an attorney for one of the parties in the case will ask questions to the witness. The attorney will ask questions related to the case to gain more information. The witness will then answer the questions under oath. The witness must answer the questions truthfully, with accurate information. The attorney will likely ask questions about the incident, the witness’s experience related to the incident, and any other information that could be relevant to the case. The witness must answer the questions to the best of their knowledge. The witness may also be asked to provide documents or other evidence that could be used to support the case. The witness will not be in the same room as the attorney. The deposition will be taken remotely, likely by video conference, and will be recorded. This will help ensure that the deposition is accurate and can be used as evidence if the case goes to court. At the end of the deposition, the witness will be asked to sign the deposition, affirming that all of the information provided is true and correct to the best of their knowledge. After the deposition is over, the witness may be asked to testify in court if the case goes to trial.
