Consequences and Cost of Missing Your Deposition

Spiggle Law Podcast Episode 47:
Don’t miss your deposition. That’s the bottom line. What happens, and what are
the consequences when you miss your deposition? Tom and Ross Fodera, an
attorney with The Spiggle Law Firm, walk you through potential consequences
and pitfalls to avoid when it comes to depositions and other critical legal
appointments.
They are discussing Wade v. Auto Club Insurance Company of Florida et al., a
recent case in Florida. Wade missed his April 8th deposition and failed to
communicate that he would be going to Arkansas to watch the solar eclipse on
that day. As a result, the defendant’s attorneys are asking for the entire case to
be dismissed, to get attorney’s fees, and specifically for the case to be thrown out
with prejudice, essentially barring him from any other chance of getting into court
with his claim.
Though not conducted in a courtroom, depositions bear all the gravitas of a court
proceeding, typically supervised by a court reporter and sometimes recorded on
video. This formal setting ensures that testimonies given during depositions carry
significant weight and may be used in a trial, akin to direct courtroom testimony.
Depositions can carry considerable costs, including attorney fees, travel
expenses, and court reporter services.
Tune in to hear Tom and Ross discuss the consequences of missing depositions
and how to avoid these pitfalls.
