The Lawsuit Process
The U.S. lawsuit process resolves legal disputes through a structured procedure, beginning with identifying a conflict and potentially ending in a trial or settlement. The process includes filing legal documents, discovery of evidence, and court rulings, with opportunities for appeals to ensure fairness.
Key Steps in the Lawsuit Process
- Dispute Identification: A conflict arises that cannot be resolved informally.
- Complaint Filing: The plaintiff files a formal legal claim with the court.
- Service of Process: The defendant is notified of the lawsuit.
- Discovery: Both parties exchange evidence and testimony.
- Trial or Settlement: The case is resolved through trial or negotiation.
- Appeals: Decisions can be reviewed by higher courts if challenged.
Common Types of Cases
- Contract disputes and personal injury claims.
- Employment and property disputes.
- Theft, DUI/DWI, and drug offenses.
- Assault and homicide charges.
- Divorce, custody, and adoption cases.
- Intellectual property and contract disputes.
- Defective products and false advertising.
- Mass torts and environmental lawsuits.
