A good (or bad) deposition has the ability to sway the case one way or another.If bad enough, a deposition can certainly expedite the settlement process. Keep in mind that depositions are taken under oath. Everything that the deponent says is being recorded by the court reporter and in some cases, by video as well.
Can I refuse to answer questions at a deposition? In most cases, a deponent cannot refuse to answer a question at a deposition unless the answer would reveal privileged or irrelevant private information or the court previously ordered that the information cannot be revealed (source).
If you do not want it recorded, do not say it. Everything is being recorded by a court reporter at a deposition, and only your words are taken down unless it is a video deposition. So you cannot nod your head in agreement or gesture for emphasis because it cannot be recorded.
You can object to a videotape deposition.Unless you have a very good reason for the deposition not to be videotaped ("I don't want to" is not a good reason), the judge will likely enter an order compelling the video depo and awarding sanctions against you for discovery abuse.

A deposition is the legal term for a formal, recorded, question and answer session which occurs when the witness is under oath. A deposition generally serves two purposes: (1) find out what you know; and (2) preserve your testimony for later use (either in motions to be filed with the Court or at trial).
A document directing a witness to appear to answer questions under oath is called a notice of deposition. The notice includes a time and place where the examination is to occur. The notice is sent to all parties in a lawsuit so that everyone involved has been given notice of the event.
In most types of cases, for the deposition of a party to the case, you must provide at least 10 days' notice if personally served, and 15 days' notice if served by mail within California (California Code of Civil Procedure (CCP) § 2025.270(a), A§ 1013).
There is no given time where all cases settle, or a guarantee that any particular case will end in a settlement. However, the majority of civil lawsuits (which includes personal injury cases) settle before trial. Many of these cases will settle at the close of the discovery phase, which includes depositions.
