AMS covers 200+ languages on request, including rare and indigenous languages.
What credential should a personal injury deposition interpreter hold?
For depositions, use a certified court interpreter, or a registered interpreter in languages where California offers no certification exam. Under California Evidence Code section 755.5, an insurer-requested or defendant-requested medical examination requires an interpreter, and the record can be excluded without one. AMS confirms the interpreter's credential in writing before every assignment.
How quickly can AMS confirm an interpreter for a personal injury matter in Orange County?
Availability depends on language, venue, and timing. Online requests are accepted anytime, same-day and after-hours coverage is part of the standard offering, and quotes turn around the same business day. Call (800) 919-2029 to confirm availability for your date.
Can AMS handle remote personal injury assignments in Orange County?
Yes. AMS interprets remote depositions, telehealth visits, and video proceedings on Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Webex, GoToMeeting, and Doxy.me. Same-day video remote interpreting is available when on-site is not practical.
