Gonzalez Law Firm staff and attorneys come together to portray a typical California workers' compensation deposition with each member acting in a role. This video shows both an in person and virtual deposition. In today's world, depositions can take place either way or a hybrid of them both.

This is a fictitious case, but elements have been inspired by the applicant's past (played by Jennifer Rivas). The element of truth proves interesting since Jennifer has worked as an EMT and for Disney in real life.

PLEASE NOTE: the timing in the video is extremely fast for a deposition. We edited it this way to make the video faster moving. This same content would usually take at least twice as long in real life.

Also, we edited out a good portion of the questions, so we could provide a well rounded sample of each type of questioning to give you an idea of the feel of a depo. Your deposition will most likely have more questions for each subject.

Please note this information will only be relevant for injuries that are under the jurisdiction of California WCAB.

Hello, my name is Naomi. I have been practicing in Southern California since 2012. I opened my own firm because after seeing how the work comp "mills" functioned, I knew there was a better way. My firm is different because our clients are able to access their attorney and we focus on client education, so they are informed and feel comfortable throughout the entire work comp process.
