Thanks for watching the video. I hope it helps people who are about to give a deposition so they might avoid some simple mistakes.

Matt, Thank you for the advice, I gave my deposition, told the truth. I listened to each question, paused answer just the question. The opposing attorney was so mean that I began to cry and I fell apart but I told the truth.

Thanks for the great presentation, Matt. I appreciate the exact pacing of your speech. It was just right.

yeah they aren't your friend they are your enemy

Thank you for posting this video, great intro to a deposition.

Thanks , I have my E.B.T tomorrow. You’ve prepared me more then my actuall lawyer.

While a case can't be won in a deposition, it can definitely be lost. These are great tips for someone who is being deposed in a personal injury case.

Thank you for your information. It’s helpful for everyone who is about to have deposition.

May god bless you for helping !

Oh my, God bless you thank you so much this helps a lot I have my hearing next week!

Thank you for directing me to this earlier today. I will refer back to it just to become comfortable with what to expect.

Great video. Watched as part of lectures in my paralegal litigation class. Very straightforward, clearly presented, and logical. Thanks! Student in Chicago, IL.

I just started my court reporting career and this video was very helpful. Thanks

I was struck in my company car by a subway train at a blind crossing were the warning lights were not working. I could not see the train coming until I was actually on the tracks in my company vehicle. It has been 10 years and one month since the accident and now they are getting around to a deposition by phone because of the China virus.After the first four years, I would remind my attorney every year that another year has passed what is the progress in the case. Not until I actually contacted the CEO office of the company i worked for & recently retired from after just under 39 years , and asked his office to light a fire under the legal department, did I hear from my own attorney. He was quite unhappy and said I would harm the case, and that i should not have done that,but, Surprisingly,now it is finally proceeding..I actually got a form from the attorney generals office of the state I live in which I have not filled out yet, but it is to take action against my attorney for his lack of action as the 10th anniversary of the accident approached..I do not wish to do so but 10 years. I am not a young man, I am now retired, and many of the witnesses I’m sure have expired, they were seniors at the time over 10 years ago.. in my work I used a digital pocket audio recorder to take notes from each stop and enter that info into the laptop in my co car..i used that recorder in my shirt pocket at most stops to keep my hands free to carry tools to each stop in my work.. After my company vehicle stopped spinning after the impact with the train, within 10 seconds I instinctively hit the record button and let it run as the witnesses approached to see if I was OK. I was stunned but conscious.Will I be asked to play that recording at the telephone/camera deposition from my home? I sent my attorney a transcript of every word of the approximately 20 minute recording.When I first went to my attorneys office after the accident, I played the recording for him. He listened intently to every word. When the recording was finished, he sat back in his chair and said, put that in a safe, that is gold.. Will I be asked to play the recording at the phone/camera deposition? Will I be able to point out at the deposition that the port authority/owners of the subway train, have added on additional damage to their subway car that would be physically impossible to have been done by my company car because the damage is down the side of the train.. The only contact my company vehicle had with the train was with that front coupler. Also, they state in their documents that the accident happened at a completely different intersection. I pointed this out to my attorney several times and he seems unconcerned with those two facts..I don’t have very high confidence in my attorney, I actually think I could do a better job in the quart room then he is doing. He seems pre-occupied, unconcerned. Also, I don’t know if this is admissible, but I actually have video i captured while working once i was able to return to duty months later,of those warning lights not working at that intersection and other intersections that I collected over the years while covering my work area that I happened upon.. also, I have recorded television news reports of accidents at the very intersection with other vehicles. i sent those videos on a flash drive to my attorney.. Are those other accidents at that intersection admissible? Are they related to my case at all?It shows a history of safety light failures and accidents at the same intersection. I was contacted by my attorneys assistant asking if I would be available to do a video/telephone deposition next month. That’s why I am researching videos on What to expect.

Thank you. Glad i watched your video, I have my deposition today, and what you've said on your video has greatly helped me, With how to compose myself when asked questions.

This is a great video. thanks for posting

Good stuff. Questions on time could translate into a distance and vice versa.

Does the defendant's lawyer have the right to ask me the same question but worded differently? How do I handle this. I have my workers compensation deposition next month and I want to prepare as much as possible. What kind of personal questions are they allowed to ask? How personal are they allowed to get?

Thanks. Good information. Details.

thank you - very helpful

Thank you very much

interesting and informative clarifies everything that is obvious to judicial interaction and daily life relationships less within reason is always best moderationis a key to life drink moderately eat moderately talk moderately yes no answers or limit yourself to what you have to say let others control the higher percentage of the conversation and higher number of the people will be happy to know you and consider you a favourable person to talk to and probably because you have not put your foot in your mouth

Hi. I have a mediation coming up ! On a auto accident. .was rear ended while stoped at red light! 3.5 years old case ! Sustained herniated disc in 3 location one being more serious in the neck! Benn through few epidural ! Among 7 different doctors including Neuro surgeon ! Terrified to go through surgery as it poses high risk ! My question is , is surgery a requirement in order to have a fair value settlement for my injuries ? OR what if I like to postpone the surgery till I'm 100% ready mentally to go under the knife! Would this Postponement hurt the value of my case ? Is surgury a condition to get a fair settlement? Lastly. what ballpark of a value am i looking at before the surgery having those imjuries mentioned above plus TMJ. By hitting my head , Knee. Elbow. Tnx
