What is a deposition and how can it help my Illinois Workers’ Compensation case?
The deposition of your doctor is the way the doctor testifies in your Workmans Comp case.
The doctor does not appear live at the Work Comp arbitration trial. The doctor will testify in his office, under oath, and a court reporter will take down all his words. The court reporter will print the testimony out for the Arbitrator.
Many times the deposition of your doctor will increase the value of your settlement.
Why? The Work Comp insurance company knows you are serious. The Work Comp insurance company knows that you are ready to go to trial once you have the deposition completed.
The Insurance Company will get serious when you show you mean business.
