Who Can File a Civil Lawsuit?


Anyone can file a civil lawsuit against one or more individuals or business entities. It's important to consult with counselors that are familiar with state and municipal legislation and comparable civil litigation cases to assist you in preparing to appear before the court.


How to File for a Civil Dispute


To begin the civil dispute process, you must prepare and file a pleading to the court, explaining your side of the situation and supplying the facts. A copy needs to be served on the party you hold liable for the matter to move forward to lawsuit. Civil disputes range from tort claims and breach of contract claims to landlord/tenant problems and equitable claims.


Civil Law Cases and Standard of Proof


The winner of civil law cases usually has the upper hand due to the quality of evidence and the standard of proof they have provided. Large quantities of evidence do not trump key pieces of persuasive proof in civil law cases. The judge or jury should simply decide if the proof both sides have presented backs up the details in favor of one party or the other. Unlike its criminal law counterpart, civil law cases have been determined by the most probable truth.


Components of Negligence Law


Negligence law is broken down to the following classes. Damages are awarded depending on the facts presented, in the context of negligence law.

  • Breach of contract(Safe environment to work)
  • Direct or factual cause
  • Remote or legal cause
  • Harm or Injury
  • Intent and/or malice


When to Consult a Litigation Lawyer

Types of Wrongful Death Claims


A wrongful death claim is frequently put forward by the relatives, partner, or estate who were dependent on the deceased in life. Fatal accidents which are caused by wrongdoing or neglect, such as careless driving, abuse, and malpractice, are examples where defendants are accountable to compensate those hurt financially by the loss of a loved one. Wrongful death regulations and the statute of limitations vary by state. It is critical to seek expert advice and start the process as soon as possible.
