MVA310401 Motor Vehicle Accident – Driver Deposition Checklist
This is a pattern deposition question outline for both plaintiff and defense attorneys, and also their legal assistants, in motor vehicle accident cases. This is the basic, must-have, form in any car or truck negligence case- a checklist of the questions to ask in a deposition of the adverse driver, or at trial.
Generally this form will also be suitable as the basis for deposing the passenger in an automobile, or a witness to the accident. (The questions to the driver regarding what the driver did, can be switched to asking what the passenger or witness say the driver did.)
Because it is useful in examining the adverse driver, it will also be a handy checklist to use in witness preparation, preparing your own client or witness to testify.
