When medical malpractice cases are filed, lawyers and their clients often take a number of legal steps before the case goes to trial. One of these legal steps is a deposition.

During a deposition, attorneys and clients for both sides meet together. The plaintiff and other people involved in the case make sworn statements concerning important details and issues. Such depositions are normally conducted without a judge’s presence, but the testimony can still be used in trial.
