Deposition Notices

Deposition Notices are formal notices served by one party in a medical malpractice lawsuit on the opposing party or a third party, requiring the attendance of a witness at a deposition. A deposition is a form of oral discovery in which a witness is questioned under oath by the attorneys for the parties, and the testimony is recorded by a court reporter. Deposition notices typically include the date, time, and location of the deposition, as well as the name of the witness and any documents or other materials that the witness is required to bring. The purpose of depositions is to allow the parties to obtain sworn testimony from witnesses and to explore the facts and issues in the case, and the testimony may be used as evidence at trial or in support of motions. Deposition notices must comply with specific legal requirements and procedures, such as reasonable notice and limitations on the scope and duration of the deposition.
