In a medical malpractice case, a deposition plays a very important role. Deposition refers to the sworn testimony of a witness taken before the trial and it is conducted in a location outside of a court setting. If not done properly, the pretrial deposition can ruin the physician-defendant’s case. Medical records services are available to prepare deposition summaries, which would summarize the important points of the deposition.
For a successful deposition, it is important that the physician works closely with his/her attorney and follows the advice given.
