Most of you reading this blog have probably never actually taken part or witnessed a car accident trial or probably even any type of trial live and in person. If you haven't but would like to know exactly what goes on during the trial process our friends over at the Law Offices of Miller and Zois have put together an absolutely wonderful collection of transcripts from one of their trials where the lawyers argued over who caused a car wreck.

In these transcripts you can read exactly what went on during the trial. Everything from jury selection to opening and closing statements is included. It's extremely rare to see the transcripts from a car accident case published online so I'd highly recommend that you visit HERE to read the transcripts. Especially if you've been involved in a car wreck or truck collision in Tennessee or Mississippi and want to know more about how the nuts and bolts of a car wreck trial.

And if you have been involved in a car wreck or truck accident in Tennessee or Mississippi be sure to click HERE or call our office to order my free book "7 Deadly Mistakes That Can KILL Your Memphis Accident Case" before you talk to any personal injury lawyer or insurance adjuster. Ordering and reading my book could mean the difference between recovering for your injuries or walking away with nothing.

Anyone who is going to take their Tennessee or Mississippi personal injury or car accident case to trial needs to be prepared to “survive” a deposition by the defendant’s attorney. I write “survive” because a deposition can be brutal. The opposing lawyers goal at a deposition is to gather as much information as he or she can in order to try to refute your testimony at trial. In order to do so he will try to wear you down, make you angry, hurt your feelings and do almost everything else except for call your momma names. (He’ll even do that sometimes if she happens to also be involved in the case.)

 So, how are you supposed to survive this terrible monster called a deposition? The first thing to know in order to survive is what kind of questions will be asked. The second thing is to know is that the other attorneys purpose at this deposition is to get you so frustrated that you make a mistake that will hurt your case and help his. If you are aware of these two things and can be calm, relaxed and under control you’ll sail through the deposition with no problems.

David Newdorf, at Newdorf Legal, put the following list of deposition questions up on his blog.  And I am including them here on the Memphis injury law blog for you to read and review in case you are involved in a Memphis lawsuit and have to attend a deposition.
