Description

A medical expert’s deposition is a key discovery tool and often crucial to the outcome of an applicant’s workers’ compensation claim. Effective deposition skills in both questioning the witness and raising objections can positively impact the resolution of a case.

Preparing the expert, effectively questioning a deponent who may not testify favorably, and strategically raising objections impact the value of information obtained during the deposition. Counsel must consider how to leverage information gained during the deposition in the workers’ compensation claim process.

Listen as our authoritative panel of workers’ compensation attorneys discusses effective strategies for deposing medical experts. The panel will share techniques for taking or defending the deposition of a medical expert and using deposition testimony during the workers’ compensation claim process.
