Jeff Bolster's Deposition of Me Pages 32 through 37:

He asks me about discussions between myself and the defendent on the scene of the accident. He asked me about her condition. Asks how I found my lawyer and if I had had contact with other lawyers. He asks me about an injury I sustained while hammering in a lightweight trellis in the garden while taking pain meds. I hit my middle finger with the hammer and split it wide opened about 1/2 inch. That was pretty bad and it bled a lot. He asks me about falls I had at work and if I had been injuried. Only my butt as I fell on my butt while filing. And no my butt wasn't harmed. He asks me about visits to my gynocologist after the accident.


He asks me detailed questions about what portion of my medical bills did I pay. I went to the ortho doctor maybe 15 times in 2000 and had to pay $40 a visit out of my pocket. He asks about a fender bender (I was hit from the rear) I was in in 2000 that was very minor; no one hurt. He asked me about the deer running into my truck. :) He asked me where and about prescription medications (prior to the accident).


Bolster asks me about physical therapy, tests done to measure range of motion and strength in my legs, my concerns for pain that I shared with my doctor, my doctor's diagnosis or lack of, handicapped sticker and how and when I use it, asks me about who had paid my medical bills and why I sought an attorney.


In pg 33 he asks me about how I get along in my home; cleaning, caring for pets, cooking, shopping, the ADA claim I made against my employer (I had asked for the installation of a copy/fax machine in the trailer so I would not have to walk to the main office several times a day; eventually I had to file a claim to get this machine in my office). He asked me if I had hired a lawyer. He asks if I got any money for this EEOC claim. I did not make a claim for money only the fax/copier that was all I was interested in.

More trip questions. More detailed questions about medical history. My lawyer told me Bolster told him after I left the deposition that I was a liar. That I did not injure myself in the accident. He said I was a skier and most likely injured myself during a trip to Sky Valley in Dec. 2000; a year after the accident and two surgeries. I have video tapes that show me in a lounge chair asleep and my legs wired up to a TENS Unit for the terrible nerve pain. I have never been on skis in my life. He also told my lawyer that day; my back probably hurts because I am so fat. My lawyer also told me that Bolster disapproved of me and my "life style". He asks me if I had ever been a surrogate. He asks me about the pain in my back too.


More trip questions.


More detailed questions about visits I made to female friends. He was also wanting to know if I was having relationships with these very good friends. This was so frustrating dealing with his insinuations.


He asks me about various trips I have made since the accident. He then asks me about how many times I visited my kids. I was not allowed to elaborate about the reasons why I didn't visit my kids more. Visiting my kids and their kids though joyful and wonderful can be very tiring to someone with my health issues. When I visited my friends back then, they took care of me and I got to rest a lot. In particular when I visited my friend who is a nurse and lives in the mountains. She took me to many beautiful and healing places and watched over me.


Medical history, falling incidents and other incidents when I was injured as a result of the nerve damage in my legs.

Jeff Bolster's Deposition of Me: Pages 19, 20, 21, 22 and 23

This page discusses the injury to my leg, the falling incidents and resulting injuries. Some of these injuries required medical attention.



More talk about injuries.



Discussing the accident. One the bottom left corner he begins to mention names; asking me if I was "dating" that woman. The GAY thing raises its ugly head. It is obvious he must have had a private detective looking into my life. That detective wasn't too good because one of the womens' name is my sister!



Accident details.


Discussing accident, missed time from work and my salary.

Jeff Boster's Deposition of Me: Pages 15, 16, 17 and 18

Discussing missed days from work after the accident, salary and he asked me about getting raises at work.


Asking me about my job (in October 2003) if I was happy with my job, if I was looking for other employement.


Ver detailed questions about employment history after the accident. Questions about my job performance and functioning at that company.



Discussions about my employer at the time of the accident 12/31/1999. He was asking detailed questions about the financial situation of my former employer. Is this pertinent to my accident and injuries?

Jeff Bolster's Deposition of Me: pages 8, 9, 10 and 11.

Homosexuality. He asked me detailed questions about when I came out, past relationships and he went through each of my childrens'names and asked me what each of them felt about having a mother who is gay. I was so hurt by these questions. Every time he brought up my children; I shuddered. As a mother, I am very protective of my kids. He was not worthy to speak their names.


Going back to my teenage years, asking me about sexual abuse by my stepfather, questions about my mother's death of breast cancer. Then more past medical history.


Physical activity prior to the wreck. Deeply personal and highly invasive questions about my parents and their deaths. I am trying very hard not to get emotional reading this again and reliving that horrible day. Something very important here that I cannot post a photo of is the expression on his face when he asked questions he found displeasing to him; a haughty disapproving look. He is the perfect lawyer for a Bad Faith Insurance Company to hire. He made me feel very unworthy during that depo. That was his goal.


He asked me again about my relationship with my kids but honed in on my relationship with my son. My son has special needs; he has austism actually Asperger's syndrome which is a higher function level of autism. He asked me about my son's drinking problem. He asked me about my son's marriage. I was angry so angry he made my son look like an alcoholic drunk and dying in an ally; dirty and alone without his family. I loathe this lawyer for even speaking the names of my children.

Depositions are long grueling things. This one lasted almost four hours. I sat there with all that damage to my back and nerves in my back without pain meds, answering these horrible invasive questions. Very few of them had anything to do with the car accident.

I thought then and I still do that this lawyer is a monster and should be barred from practicing law. Auto Owners and this lawyer are guilty of intentionally inflicting emotional and financial distress.

This lawyer was trying to make me feel like an unfit mother who does not care about her children. He inferred with these questions that being gay automatically makes one an unfit mother who is not capable of loving and caring for her children. Nothing could be further from the truth. I always wanted to be a mother ever since I was 9 or 10! And nothing pleases me more than the children of my children. I am thrilled with being a grandmother; seven times!

He made me feel like a criminal. This accident was in no way my fault. I was the victim in this accident.

Jeff Bolster's Deposition of Me: Oct 2003 Pages 4,5,6 and 7

This is when he first began asking me about my son. As you can see in this deposition, I requested a break because I was getting very emotional and upset with him for asking me these questions. I love my son unconditionally. My son is special needs. That matters not one bit to me. Of course I hope he can stop drinking one day. We pray for that. He is an adult; living in an apartment with roommatesand working. Family cannot force an adult to do anything if they are not ready. We can just sit there on standby hoping one day he asks us for help to quit drinking. We would do it in a heartbeat. That is what families are for.



Medical history prior to the day of the accident. I was not trying to be evasive by answering "I don't know" when he asked me about the names of the health care providers. I rarely went to the doctors and if I got a clean bill of health, I forgot about that doctor because I was busy living my life. He made it sound like I was stupid or lying.

Pages 1,2 and 3

The depo took place on Oct 7, 2003. It is very unpleasant to read over this as I scan each document but it is necessary to prove the malicious intent of Auto Owners Insurance Co. to hurt me the plantiff. You can see in the depo how he is going after me about where and when my children lived with me. About divorces. Then asking me about abuse and were the father and I ever in a court battle over my kids. This could give any mother a heart attack.

They were very successful that day as I was greatly upset on the way home. At home, I proceeded to call two persons who are very close to me. One person is a minister and a counselor. She assured me that insurance companies do everything they can to save money. I felt destroyed that night, that I had been attacked as a mother, a daughter, sister, a woman, etc. As you read the questions asked of me by this lawyer who was hired and paid $50,000 by Auto Owners Insurance Company; you will understand.

Most of these questions shown here have nothing what so ever to do with the car accident. They were meant to accomplish destruction of a person. And so far, they have accomplished much of what they set out to do. I ended up having a heart attack later after the deposition.

This is just 3 pages and reading it is ripping my heart apart. There are 35 more pages to go. I have time. That is about all I have left is time.
