Legal Question in Workers Comp in California

In general, depositions are allowed to be taken only once. If the first deposition was never completed [opposing counsel stated at the end that the deposition had to be continued and you did not object] or you refused to respond to some of the questions [in which case the other side would need a WCAB order to take another deposition as to the area of those specific questions], a second could be taken. I assume you are not represented by an attorney or you would have asked him/her this question. Ask opposing counsel why he/she wants to take your deposition again and the legal basis to do so. Then re-ask your question telling us whether the injury has been denied, the nature of the ilnjury, what the second deposition will be about, etc; or you can e-mail me with the information or call me. There will be no charge for a relatively brief [up to 20 minutes conversation].
