What Is A “Deposition” In An Idaho Personal Injury Case?

Following the filing of your lawsuit for the recovery of damages arising from your personal injury action, it is common that the defendant’s attorney will want to take your deposition. A deposition is a scheduled meeting where a witness, accompanied by their attorney if they have one, responds orally to questions from the opposing party’s attorney. Also present in the deposition is a court reporter who assists in reducing the oral testimony to written form for later use in court or for discovery purposes. The purpose of a deposition is to gather information that is relevant to the prosecution or defense of the case.
