Legal Question in Workers Comp in Florida

My wife has a deposition in a month. She has terminal cancer and I want to know is what can happen if she cannot appear do to her being disabled or even past away? It's in a worker's comp case and she is bringing the suit.

I hope she has an attorney and if so speak to the attorney. If you do not have an attorney, get one.

She needs to tell her attorney right away! It is possible that the attorney can make some alternative arrangements (such as attend the depo telephonically or even conduct the depo where she is (hospital or home)). If she is the one to be deposed, and she simply doesn't show-up, she can be liable for everyone else's expenses and time who did show up as scheduled. Again, her attorney needs to know about this right away!
