Massachuetts Personal Injury Deposition Tips for Plaintiffs

Here are some basic deposition guidelines to consider if you are a plaintiff in a personal injury case: 1) Know the date, time and location of the accident; 2) Know where and when you sought medical treatment for your injuries; 3) Do not give flowery answers; keep your answers brief and only answer the question that is asked; 4) Do not get flustered or impatient with the defense attorney; stay calm, relaxed and confident; 5) Review your answers to interrogatories well in advance of the deposition; 6) Be prepared to discuss former accidents you have been involved in in the past and the injuries you sustained in those accidents; 7) NEVER ask the defense attorney a question; 8) Remember that everything said is under oath and is being recorded by the stenographer; 9) Ask the defense attorney to repeat the question if you do not understand a particular question. 10) RELAX knowing that you have brought this lawsuit and that you are therefore in the driver's seat; it is the defendant who should be nervous, not you.

I have a question about your blog on deposition. If someone was recently injuried in a serious collision and the insurer's adjuster requests a four year old record about a minor accident where you receive only two weeks of treatment because you were healed and there were no other records of treatment. Would you give them the therapy notes or withhold it until a court orders a subpoena?

It is just wonderful ideas that have been shared. Really it is necessary to be calm and quiet during trial or else the suspect may be you filing a wrong lawsuit. Being a fearless will enable us to face the consequences of the lawsuit. It is a hundred percent true that we should be cool and the defense should be in tense, it is who to take tension not me.
