You could be subject to a medical malpractice lawsuit at any time. You may be named as a defendant or there may be legal action against your employer. Even if you're not named in the lawsuit, you may be called as a witness to respond to questions in a pre-trial deposition.

The deposition is one of the most critical stages of litigation. To help you better understand the deposition process, CNA, the insurance carrier for the NSO program, has created this video, Preparing for a Deposition.
