QUESTION
Do I have to go to depositions if I want to claim worker's compensation?

More details to this question:
I was violently attacked while working. I suffered many injuries. Now the employer is angry. The job wants me to go to "depositions. “Do I have to? Since the Virginia Workers' Compensation Act states that "Any party may take testimony of any person, including a party, by deposition." Does the word "may" indicate that depositions are not absolutely necessary? Does the commission have any jurisdiction over depositions?
