Reasons for Civil Litigation

There are many reasons why you might need to file a civil suit against another person or a company. Some common situations where this may be appropriate include:

• A dispute between two business partners regarding their rights under a contract.
• An action seeking damages for the harm caused by wrongful acts committed by someone else.
• A claim for unpaid wages.
• An attempt to recover money from a debtor.
• A claim for damages resulting from a serious injury or death of a loved one.

The civil litigation process can be quite lengthy and frustrating for all of the parties involved. It usually involves court proceedings where evidence is taken under oath and documents are reviewed. There might also be several rounds of negotiations in an attempt to settle the case without going to court. Once the case has reached trial, a judge or jury will issue a final ruling determining whether one party wins or loses.

When you hire an experienced litigation lawyer, they will represent you in each process and will fight for your best interests. Civil litigation attorneys can guide you through every step of the proceedings, including filing papers in court, gathering evidence, negotiating settlements, and preparing witnesses to testify before a jury or judge.

Statute of Limitations for Civil Litigation

When a lawsuit must be brought within certain time limits, those limits are known as the statute of limitations. The length of time varies depending on whether you are suing someone over a breach of contract, personal injury, product liability, etc. Each type of lawsuit might have a different statute of limitations.

In New York, statutes of limitations generally range between one and six years. The time begins counting once the offense happens, which could either be the first or last act of wrongdoing. If the statute of limitations expires, the opposing party can assert this defense. However, even if the claim is not made too late, the defendant may still have a valid defense that might preclude the plaintiff from bringing their claim at all.

If you’re considering making a claim against a company, it is best to contact an attorney immediately. Here at The Frank Law Firm, our business litigation attorneys can help advise you on the proper course of action. If you are making a claim against an individual, you need an experienced civil litigation attorney. Contact our office today to learn more about your options.
