You don’t have to be a perfect witness. You do have to be a truthful one.

The final four parts of our Deposition Series focus on what ultimately matters most: accuracy, preparation and credibility.

We look at describing your injuries without exaggerating or minimizing them, reviewing your case without memorizing answers, what to do when your attorney objects, and how to conduct yourself on the day of your deposition.

Preparation won’t give you all the answers. It can help you be ready to give your own.

Patients sign informed consent forms acknowledging the known risks of medical procedures.

But what happens when an injury results from alleged negligence rather than an unavoidable risk?

Partner Bill Rogel (https://www.linkedin.com/in/billrogel/) explains why that distinction matters in medical malpractice cases.

Sometimes the best deposition answer is a very short one.

Knowing when to stop talking can be just as important as knowing what to say.

Parts 5–8 of our Deposition Series cover four common trouble spots: volunteering too much information, guessing when you don’t know, using absolute words like “always” and “never,” and answering a question you don’t fully understand.

Swipe through for practical ways to answer carefully, accurately and confidently.

When you or a loved one enters a nursing home or care facility, the paperwork may include an agreement that limits your ability to take the facility to court.

But what happens if the resident later dies?

Does an agreement they signed also waive the rights of family members bringing a wrongful death claim?

Attorney Bill Rogel explains an important distinction—and why the fine print can matter.

🏥 If hospital investigations are kept secret in the name of patient safety, where’s the evidence that patients are actually safer?

Attorney Bill Rogel questions the justification for shielding internal hospital investigations from patients injured by medical malpractice.

If secrecy is supposed to make hospitals safer, shouldn’t we be able to show that it’s working?

A hospital investigates what went wrong. Doctors, administrators and patient safety specialists discuss the case. They determine what happened and what could be done differently.

But the injured patient may never get to see what they found.

In this clip from I Strenuously Object, Flaherty Fardo Rogel & Amick partner Bill Rogel asks whether the protections surrounding hospital peer review have gone too far — and whether patients deserve greater access to investigations involving their own care.

Do the math — you may be paying more in property taxes than you need to.

For 2027, Allegheny County’s Common Level Ratio is 49.3%. So, for example, a home worth $400,000 should be assessed at $197,200.

Is your assessment higher than you think it should be? It may be worth finding out whether you have grounds for an appeal.

Just don’t wait too long: the deadline to file a 2027 property assessment appeal is September 1.

If your Allegheny County property assessment seems low compared with what your home is actually worth, that doesn’t necessarily mean you’re being taxed fairly.

For a property tax appeal, Allegheny County’s 49.3% Common Level Ratio is applied to the home’s current market value.

That means a home with a market value of $600,000, for example, should be assessed at approximately $296,000.

Understanding the difference between market value and assessed value is an important first step in determining whether your property may be over-assessed — and whether a property tax appeal could potentially lower your tax burden.

Contact me today at [email protected] to discuss your specific property tax situation and whether an appeal could help reduce your property tax burden.

Don't forget...the appeal deadline is September 1.

It'll be here faster than you realize!
