If you are the deponent, yes. If you are the plaintiff or defendant and they are deposing a witness or the other party, you are entitled to attended but it is not required. If you are the witness and still will not attend your own deposition they might get a subpoena to compel you. Still if it's a civil case there might not be a criminal penalty for failure to appear.

Generally speaking, any witness in any court proceeding can refuse to answer a question on the grounds that it may incriminate him (that is, "plead the Fifth").

There can be consequences for doing so. For example, if you are a party in a civil, not criminal case, your adversary can use your plea against you. It is also possible that pleading the fifth when you are a witness in a criminal trial could motivate the authorities to investigate.

If you are compelled to testify as a witness in a matter, and you are concerned that your testimony might implicate you in a crime, then you should ABSOLUTELY hire a lawyer, and follow their advice, before you go to court

Can you refuse being deposed?

It depends. Generally, yes, you could refuse, unless you have been ordered by the court to do it. ______ Generally not. If you refuse to show up for a deposition, the party that requested the deposition can ask the court to find you in contempt, and you could be jailed until you comply with the order. If you think you have a good reason for refusing to attend the deposition, you should speak with a lawyer.


Can you go to jail if you fail to appear for a deposition even though you have get served?

If you've been served papers to show up at a deposition, that means a judge has ordered your body to appear and give the deposition. Failure to appear will probably result in a charge of contempt of court, which would probably result in your body being taken (arrested) and brought before the court. You would sit in jail until you complied with the court order to give deposition.
