why would the insurance carrier set up a deposition date and a mediation date, before I have my back surgery?

A deposition is an important tool in the discovery process.  They take place in almost every case and it allows the defense an opportunity to ask a series of questions regarding your living situation, past employment history, previous accidents, etc...   They are taken in front of a court reporter with the deponent being under oath, so it is very important to frame your answers carefully.   How questions are answered in a deposition can play an integral role in the outcome of your case. Likewise, a Mediation Conference is also a step in the process of almost every case.  A mediation allows the parties to come together to hash out any outstanding issues and or discuss settlement with the aide of an independent third party.    e would be happy to speak to you in more detail.
