Lawsuits are filed every day. In fact, according to an article on the Citizens for a Sound Economy Web site, there are more than 15 million civil cases processed annually in state courts alone, at a cost of over $1.8 billion. Although the number of product liability cases in 2000 was less than half of the number in 1997, the courts are still clogged with civil lawsuits. Most courts are trying to encourage people to settle their disputes out of court, and some require mediation at some point in the process before you can go to trial.
In this blog, we will talk about what you have to go through to take someone to court — or, what you might be able to do to avoid court and still get some satisfaction. We will also cover what you need to do if YOU have a lawsuit against you and the best way to proceed. Keep in mind that the legal process differs from state to state so this may not always be exactly the way it works in your area.
We cover many different area of lawsuit claims including medical, medication, malpractice, accident, insurance, disabiity, discrimination, negligence, small claims, and civil lawsuits.
While we have been extremely careful in creating resources that are accurate and relative, there may be information that is outdated or inaccurate. Please always proceed with caution when dealing with lawsuits and make sure you consult with an attorney before dealing with any lawsuit that you are filing or that is filed against you.
