What state? Do you have sufficient coverage for the injuries alleged? If so, who gives a fuck. Your insurance is paying anyways. Might as well have a lot of fun and hook up the plaintiff.

Q: How hard was the impact?

A: Hard as fuck.

Q: Did the plaintiff say anything to you at the scene?

A: No he was unable to talk, I was afraid he was dead because he looked so hurt.

I have 500k coverage but it's possible this case exceeds the policy limits. Pltf hasn't turned over any medical bills.

Just answer the questions truthfully. Don't try to be a wiseass. If you're able to get some sort of narrative that helps you into your answer, fine, but don't forcememe it.

Ask to go to the bathroom if he's building momentum on a good line of questioning.

if the question is driven by a helper verb -- did, are, have, were, etc. -- then answer only yes, no, i don't recall, or i don't know.

when the question is close to accurate but is pointed or slanted, say, "not as you phrased it, no."

good points.

i'm a big fan of pausing. you change the pace of the game. of course, if you want a fast break game, that's different. but if you are being deposed, you usually want to send a signal that "this will be glacial no matter what you do."

if the best single word answer is "no," but you don't like the lingering inference, you can take the admitted core of the quesiton and add a no at the end. if the question is "did you even bother to ask her what had occurred," and the answer is that you didn't but there's a good reason why you didn't, just say, "i did not ask her what had happened, no."

following up on this thread, the depo ended up being pretty uneventful.

liability was heavily disputed. the shitlawyer who deposed me just pinned my story down. he didnt even try to do anything to discredit my story. no "just admit you're totally full of shit" or any of that.

the biggest issue in my case was medical and injuries, and there's not much that my testimony was good for other than to say that he didn't claim injury or call an amb at the scene, and he said he was fine.

most controversial moment was when the shitlawyer started asking me about my own insurance company's initial decision to hold me 100% liable before i told my side of the story and they eventually decided it was 50/50, and my lawyer claimed ACP and instructed me not to answer any questions about that.
