Products Liability Deposition Checklist - to either Plaintiff or Accident Fact Witness

Depositions are a key part of product defect cases.  The liability of non-liability of the defendant may depend on the answers given by the plaintiff or a fact witness during his/her deposition.  To avoid disappointment, you as an attorney need an outline, in checklist form, of the questions to be asked. 

Do not be one of those defense attorneys who walks out after the deposition and realizes that crucial areas of questioning have been forgotten.  Do not be one of those plaintiff attorneys who walks out of the deposition and realizes that the plaintiff had not been prepared  by you to answer questions on a make-or-break issue. 

Neither of the above has to be you, if you are armed with a comprehensive testimony examination question checklist developed by a senior trial attorney with years of products liability experience.
