A deposition often begins with the attorney that requested the deposition asking the witness the first line of questions. Typically, scheduled depositions focus on one party at a time. For example, as a personal injury accident victim, the defendant's attorneys will likely be the first to question you during your deposition. If multiple parties are potentially liable in a case, the other parties' attorneys may also have questions for you. Once the opposing party completes their questioning, your attorney can also ask follow-up questions or ask you to clarify issues they deem require more explanation if they deem necessary. A deposition creates a record that can become evidence in court as you advance toward a trial.
