Workplace Injury Frequently Asked Questions

WARNING: All of the information provided here is of a general nature only. The specific facts of your case may require a completely different answer. Do not base any decision with respect to your case solely on any of the answers found herein. Prior to making any decision with respect to your case, you should speak with a competent attorney who is familiar with the laws that relate to your case.

Why do I have to answer depositions and interrogatories, if the accident was not my fault?

Under the Civil Law governing our country, every litigant, whether they are the one bringing the case, or the one being sued, has the right to take advantage of the discovery procedures available so that their attorney can be prepared to properly represent their client. If your claim is truly a strong, legitimate claim, this will become clear to the other side when you respond to discovery and give your deposition, provided your attorney prepares you properly. Please see our short introduction video relating to preparing for your deposition.
