The purpose of a deposition is for the attorneys on both sides to gather as much information from the opposing side as possible related to the car accident. All parties involved can provide a different perspective on how the car accident happened. A deposition gives everyone an idea of what each party or witness will say at trial.
All parties’ statements in their depositions can serve as evidence for their testimonies at trial. Lawyers can use deposition transcripts to set the record straight if a party’s story changes. Attorneys can also use depositions to determine how witnesses will act if they testify at trial.
