Over 100 “5 Star Reviews”
Q: Attorney Tully, I was rear ended in an auto accident and had neck surgery. At my trial is my surgeon going to appear in person and testify live?
A: It’s possible but it is pretty unlikely for two reasons. First, if the surgeon testifies in Court, she is going to have to cancel either her patient appointments or surgeries for that day. Second, the cost for having a surgeon appear in Court “live” is often very high – around $10,000 for a half day appearance. The more common practice is for the attorneys to go to the surgeon’s office, videotape her deposition and then play the video to the jury. That is a lot less expensive and accomplishes the same goal.
