A: Depositions are very important procedures because a deposition is usually the first time you will actually testify about your case. Depositions take place in the office of one of the attorneys involved in the case. In your deposition, the attorney for the defendant will ask you questions about your injuries, the incident, and background information about you and your family. Your answers will be taken down word for word by a court reporter who will transcribe your testimony. The transcript of your testimony will be read by all attorneys, representatives of the insurance company, and portions may be used at the trial.
