Civil Litigation – State and Federal

Civil litigation is a non-criminal case when two parties or businesses have a controversy and one of the parties sues the other. The party suing the other must have a reason in law to take action against the other party and typically request either money or performance from the other party. These matters can be related to wrongful death or personal injury. They can also be related to business transactions, contracts, or other damages that one party causes to the other. These matters can be filed in State Court or Federal Court if they meet the Federal Court filing guidelines. The person who brings the action is called the Plaintiff and the person who is defending or objecting to the action is called the Defendant.

Whether you are a plaintiff or not it is important when you believe that you have a case that you should bring against someone, or when someone brings a case against you, that you promptly notify an attorney to consider what the appropriate action is to take in the proper Court.
