Depositions: An Employment Attorney's Guide To the Innocent Mistakes Which Can Hurt Your Case

For more visit: www.floridaovertimelawyer.com
See exactly what I recommend to prepare our clients for depositions.
My apologies - video cuts out at the end - but it covers the main points about sitting down for a deposition and what tricks you can expect.
If you are an employee in the midst of an employment situation and considering your legal options...
Upon filing a legal action at some point you may find yourself being deposed, or involved in the depositions process.
You probably have a vague idea of what is involved - it's where the parties involved sit down under oath and answer questions about the claims in question.
Seems simple enough right?
Well you can LOSE your case in your deposition if you get it wrong...
HARD TRUTH: Defense lawyers are very shrewd and nasty... They know the tricks to tear apart your claim with difficult questions.
In this video I share exactly how we work with our clients prior to your deposition so that you don't walk in their without being prepared.
I say all the time - "You can't win your case in a deposition - but you most certainly lose it."
The tips I share here can help prepare you for what to expect, so you aren't caught off guard by the tips and tricks you can expect from the defense attorneys.
As a plaintiff in an employment claim you can expect depositions. Make no mistake, the opposing parties are assessing how you present yourself and how it will be interpreted by a judge and jury if it comes to going to trial.
It factors into their risk assessment for litigation.
My apologies - the video cut out at the end of this very important deposition preparation video... But I've included it as is all the same.
If you find yourself in an employment situation - don't hesitate to reach out. I review all claims personally and if you have a case - we'll help you get through it together.

    I know I did a good job to deposit after watching your video. No wonder the lawyer suggested settlement right after the deposition. Thank you, Sir.

    Very good advice! Staying calm, cool and collected are key in depositions. I have heard some of you other videos. You have earned my subscription. I'm doing my own research before my case goes to trial. Question for you....When is it appropriate to go to the media?

    HOW DO YOU ANSWER QUESTIONS THAT THE APPEAL JUDGE ASKS WHEN THE QUESTIONS ARE FALSE STATEMENTS AND YOUR TOLD IF YOU DO NOT ANSWER THE JUDGE CAN ASSUME THE ANSWER NOT TO BE IN YOUR FAVOR? WHAT IF THE JUDGE IS THE ONLY PERSON THAT ASKS QUESTION FOR THE HEARING AND THEY ALL CAME FROM THE EMPLOYERS FALSE STATEMENTS? WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN THE JUDGE FISHES FOR REASONS YOU QUIT AND WILL NOT EXCEPT THE REASON THE EMPLOYEE GAVE FOR QUITTING? LAST ONE HOW MANY DIFFERENT COURTS CAN YOU BRING YOUR EMPLOYER FOR CRIMES AND VIOLATIONS AND HOW MANY DIFFERENT CRIMES OR VIOLATIONS CAN YOU PUT ON YOUR EMPLOYER FOR THE DIFFERENT THINGS HE DID? LIKE SAY YOUR REPORTING HARASSMENT BUT THE MANAGER WONT RECORD ANYTHING SO YOU GO TO HR AND SHE WONT RECORD ANYTHING THEN A CAR FALLS OFF A HOIST BECAUSE IT WAS BROKEN AND WAS REPORTED AND RECORDED FOR 3 MONTHS THEN YOU REPORT SAFETY CONCERNS TO THE MANAGER, HR, AND THE VICE PRESIDENT WHO ALL IGNORE YOU THEN THE MANAGERS START TO STEAL YOUR TOOLS AND MAKING YOUR JOB HARDER TILL ANOTHER CAR FALLS BECAUSE THE HOIST WAS BROKE THE EMPLOYER USED YOU TO CATCH UP 6 DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS DENIED A PROMOTION THE EMPLOYER SAID TO APPLY FOR THEN THE EMPLOYER SAYS HE WANT SOMEONE WITH COLLEGE EXPERIENCE BUT THEN GIVES THE POSITION TO HIS DAUGHTER THEN HR STARTS TO HARASS YOU MY TELLING YOU TO DO THING NO ONE ELSE DOES LIKE WEARING GLASSES WEARING PANTS WHEN YOU HAVE A MEDICAL CONDITION THAT PREVENTS YOU FROM BEING ABLE TO AND THE HANDBOOK SAYS ITS OK TO WEAR SHORTS AND MAKE YOU STRAP YOURSELF TO A BROKEN FORKLIFT WITH EVERYTHING ENDING WITH ANOTHER CAR FALLING BECAUSE OF THE BROKEN HOIST THAT YOU WENT TO EVERYONE ASKING THEM TO DOCUMENT EVERYTHING BECAUSE YOU HAVE A DISABILITY THAT MAKES WRITING HARD SO YOU ASKED THEM TO KEEP A RECORD INCASE THINGS STARTED TO ADD UP BUT WHEN THAT CAR FALLS THE MANAGER SAYS HES NOT THE MANAGER HIS DAD IS THAT DAY ONLY THEN AFTER YOU DEMAND THEY GO TALK TO THE VICE PRESIDENT BUT MANAGER CALLS HR WHERE THEY TRY TO MAKE YOU DO AN INVESTIGATION FOR THE HOIST THAT WAS REPORTED BROKE AND YOU REFUSE UNTIL THE FIRST ALLEGATIONS ARE INVESTIGATED BUT THEN AFTER SAYING YOU ARE BEING HARASSED AGAIN YOU ARE TOLD TO GO HOME THEN YOU GRAB YOUR JOURNAL NOTES BRING THEM TO THE VICE PRESIDENT AND SWEAR UNDER OATH TO THE INFORMATION AND ASK IF THEY MATCH WHAT THE EMPLOYER HAS FOR HIS EMPLOYEES RECORD THEN YOU FIND OUT THAT THE VP DOESN'T CARE ABOUT AN OATH STATING HE CAN MAKE UP ANYTHING AND SIGN IT UNDER OATH BUT WHEN YOU ASK HIM IF HE WOULD TAKE THE NOTES OUT OF HIS HEAD AND COMPARE THEM ON PAPER THE EMPLOYER GETS MAD AND SAYS NO. SO AFTER YOU COME BACK TO WORK YOU FIND OUT THEY NEVER DID AN INVESTIGATION FOR THE HARASSMENT AND SAFETY CONCERNS AND TOOLS MISSING INSTEAD TOLD YOU YOU WERE GETTING A WARNING FOR THE CARS FALLING OFF THE LIFT AND SAID THE LIFT WAS NOT BROKE BUT THEY STILL REPLACE THE PART THAT WAS BROKEN MADE YOU SIGN A PAPER YOU DIDN'T AGREE TO AND MOVED YOUR POSITION TO THE LAST PLACE IN THE BUSINESS THAT NEEDED TO CATCH UP AND GAVE A YEAR OF PROBATION. AND NOT ACCORDING TO THE NUMBER YOU WERE THEIR NUMBER 1 EMPLOYEE BY THE AMOUNT OF PARTS PUT AWAY BY THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT TOOK BY THE NUMBER OF DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS BY THE AMOUNT OF TIME YOU WORKED FOR THE COMPANY. YOU COULDN'T QUIT BECAUSE THEY WOULDN'T DOCUMENT ANYTHING AND DID NOT LOOK AT THE SWORN STATEMENT AS SUCH BUT INSTEAD OF TALKING TO YOU HE PICKS THROUGH YOUR 9 PAGES OF SWORN DOCUMENTS THAT WERE ONLY NOTES NOT QUESTIONS AND GIVE YOU A REASON FOR 1/3 OF THE THINGS MENTIONED IN THE STATEMENT WHY THINGS WERE NOT HOW YOU SAID AND WRITES KINDA LIKE THE ANSWERS WERE TO YOU AND THEN SOME LIKE ITS A STATEMENT TO SOMEONE ELSE BUT THEY WERE NOT EVEN QUESTIONS THEY WERE TO COMPARE NOTES. SO YOU QUIT FOR YOUR SAFETY BECAUSE NO ONE RECORDED SAFETY OR HARASSMENT PROBLEMS YOU EVEN BROUGHT EVERYTHING TO THE VP ASKING HIM TO MAKE A RECORD BUT HE TO FAILS. IM JUST WONDERING CAN YOU CHARGE FOR EVERY VIOLATION AND WHAT IF YOU HAVE TO USE ONE TIME WITH ANOTHER TIME TO MEAT ALL THE ELEMENTS OF A CHARGE HOW DOES THAT ELEMENT INFORMATION GET USED JUST ONE TIME OR CAN ONE THING BE ELEMENTS TO DIFFERENT VIOLATIONS OR CRIMES. AND IS IT DOUBLE JEOPARDY TO BRING THEM IN EVERY JURISDICTION BOTH INDEPENDENTLY AND AS A WHOLE FOR CONSPIRACY AND THE BUSINESS FOR HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS THEN EVEN THE CONSPIRACY BETWEEN ONLY TWO BECAUSE THEY CONSPIRED TOGETHER ON THEIR OWN TERMS. OR DO i HAVE TO BUNCH ALL THOSE DIFFERENT THINGS INTO ONE THING?
