Missteps That Could Derail Your Next Video Deposition
Video depositions can be enormously helpful for attorneys and witnesses alike. They are convenient, save time and money, and help cases move forward faster. With the help of a court reporter and an experienced video deposition team in San Jose, you will find that this style of testimony can become a regular part of many of your cases. However, there are a few mistakes that can make your video deposition less efficient and useful than it could be. Avoid these potential missteps to make sure you get the best possible outcomes from your deposition.
Not Accounting for Time Differences
It may seem obvious, but a common mistake people make when planning video deposition is not being clear about what time zone the deposition is scheduled in. Video depositions save everyone expensive travel costs and make it easier to use time efficiently, but since they are so often conducted across time zones, being specific while scheduling is essential. Avoid any last-minute needs for rescheduling by specifying the time zone for every video deposition you plan.
Not Delivering the Exhibits in Time
If you plan to use exhibits as part of the deposition, then you need to ensure that they are in front of your witnesses in a timely manner. If the exhibits do not arrive in time, you will need to reschedule the deposition, because the witness needs to have them available to view—you can’t simply show them over video. Leave an ample amount of time for the exhibits to be delivered so that you don’t risk a costly delay in your case preparation process.
Not Hiring the Right People
For video depositions, not having the right people on hand can render the process useless. In addition to having a court reporter who is experienced in video deposition transcription, hire a video service with experience in legal videography and specifically with recording video depositions. Often, court reporters work with videographers with legal experience.
