I don't want to submit to a deposition--- would rather make a statement and remain silent to counter fivilious accusations.

What’s up Jarrett. Great video. Is filling out the notice of errata sheet for the depo transcript only a good idea for the stenographer’s mistakes? What if the client just got an answer wrong and wants to correct her answers? Had a depo recently for a personal injury case and opposing counsel was asking super detailed questions about treatment dates and treatment techniques and the whole time im thinking, “you already have these records counsel.” During one point, opposing counsel asked about her medical treatment for a previous car accident (preexisting injuries) and my the medical report showed that she only treated for a week (my client even reviewed this report prior to the depo) but my client - because of mental fatigue or not understanding the question - said that she treated that prior injury for a month.

At the end of the depo, I made a judgment call to not ask any questions myself and instead instructed my client to write on the errata sheet, “I treated the 2018 injury for a week. My reason for changing my answer is that I realized that I remembered incorrectly after reviewing the medical report.”

Curious to know what you would have done in that kind of situation.
