While trial lawyers across the country live for jury trials in the courtroom, the reality is that nationwide more than 97% of cases end before verdict. Specifically, in the context of construction cases, depositions, after the exchange of significant requisite written discovery, are the most important tool for winning your case. In reality, whether there is a settlement or a verdict, complex construction cases are won in the deposition room, not the courtroom.

In these construction cases, comprehensive depositions of everybody involved in the process are necessary, which include the construction workers (co-workers and other tradespeople), superintendents, project managers, the owners, representatives from Licenses and Inspections and other regulatory entities, engineers, architects and corporate designee depositions of all defendants and outside companies with relevant records.
