Many of our clients ask whether they’ll have to testify at trial. The simple fact is that 95% plus of cases resolve before trial. So, the short answer to the question is “no”. You probably will not have to testify in trial at your case. That having been said, you will have an opportunity to testify in a deposition, which is a question and answer session where the other side gets to ask you the same kind of questions they would ask you at trial. While that’s a stressful event, it is also your opportunity to show the other side exactly what it is that they’re going to have to confront if they want to take you in front of a jury and risk a jury agreeing with you that you were wrongfully harmed. And these guys knew what they did was wrong when they did it. They don’t want to take that risk with most all of our clients after they’ve sat with them in a deposition.
