Charlotte, NC Personal Injury Lawyer
Your Charlotte medical malpractice attorney will help you get ready to be deposed. It sounds a little scary, but with the guidance of a legal pro you will be in good hands to give an effective sworn statement. Meanwhile, here are some helpful guidelines.
Testimony Tips
- First and foremost, always be truthful- even if you think it won’t help your case. The truth will lead to an appropriate outcome for your case. If you lie and the defense uncovers it, that will be used against you at trial.
- Read all of the documents provided by your Charlotte medical malpractice attorney such as your interrogatory answers. Study hard. Your effort may result in a more favorable settlement offer.
- Listen carefully and allow the questioner (defense counsel) to finish asking each question before you respond.
- Don’t blurt out an answer. Take your time. Think, then talk.
- Never argue with the defense lawyer who will be asking you questions. Remember, the lawyer is a professional at arguing and you won’t win a verbal tiff.
- Don’t be fooled: The opposing lawyer will try to get you to agree with certain points. If you do, he or she may add something else and persuade you to agree to that, too. It’s a dangerous slope so be sure to listen carefully to each question.
- Don’t ramble or offer more information than asked. Simply listen and respond to the question asked.
Presentation Tips
- Dress well, like going to a job interview or house of worship.
- Always be polite and pleasant.
- Make eye contact with the defense attorney who is questioning you.
- Speak up and make yourself heard clearly.
