A deposition can sound intimidating. You may picture a courtroom, a judge, and a dramatic cross-examination. In reality, most depositions happen in a conference room or by video. There is usually no judge present. But the testimony still matters because you are under oath, a court reporter is recording what is said, and your answers may be used later in the case. If you are the injured person in a personal injury case, your deposition may be one of the most important moments in the litigation process.
