Depositions are common in slip and fall cases. If you are deposed, you will answer questions under oath that are asked by the defendant’s attorney. Some depositions will take place in a neutral location, but it is likely that your deposition will occur in an attorney’s law office. There will not be a judge or magistrate present - just the defendant’s attorney, the defendant, your New York City slip and fall lawyer, you, and a court reporter. Some depositions are also videotaped, and you will be notified in advance if yours will be.
