Question

Amanda Reiss was injured at a wedding reception at a private home. Amanda tripped over a piece of rebar that was sticking from the end of one portion of a sidewalk leading to the front door. Amanda's lawyer believes that the homeowners were aware of the rebar problem and that other guests to the home had tripped over it but not been injured. How can Amanda's lawyer get the information about the homeowner's knowledge? a. he cannot because they are not required to talk with Amanda's lawyers b. he can depose the homeowners c. he can depose others who have been guests d. both b and c

Answer 1

D. B and C

Step-by-step explanation:

In law or legal terms, to depose means to interrogate and logically brings out the truth, or testimony during a deposition which is often carried out by a lawyer.

Hence, in this case, for the Amanda's Lawyer to get the information about the homeowner's knowledge, he can get the information needed, both by deposing the homeowners and others who have been guests at the wedding reception, since he believed that, considering the position of the piece of rebar, the homeowners were aware of the rebar problem and that other guests to the home had tripped over it but not been injured.
