Hello,
I have a question that I am asking for my mom. About 2 years ago when she was working at a hospital as an unpaid volunteer, she stepped backwards and fell on a piece of equipment that was just placed there without her knowledge. Subsequently she fell and broke her hip. She consulted an attorney that accepted her case and her case has progressed to the deposition stage. She went in about 3 weeks ago to the attorneys office and was questioned by the opposing attorney with a court reporter taking the transcript. Now I noticed on our states case.net sight that the other attorney is asking for a video deposition to be taken. Her question is why would they need another one since she just recently did one? Is this a precursor to going to trial, which she really doesn't want to do, but has no choice since her case is on a contingency basis.
Any ideas?
Thank you for any insight.
