Civil Defense Lawyers
Every year in the United States there are an estimated 40 million lawsuits filed. Although many of these lawsuits are legitimate actions, not all are. Some of these lawsuits are frivolous but will still find their way to court. Whether the lawsuit is frivolous or not you may still need to defend yourself against these lawsuits. Therefore, it’s important to have an experienced Defense of Lawsuits attorney defending your legal case. An experienced attorney may be able to find reasons for dismissal of these legal actions.
Some of the Reasons for dismissal may be:
- The Lawsuit Was Filed Late
- Assertions of the Plaintiff are Invalid or Overstated
- Plaintiff Was Responsible for Their Own Injuries
- Respondent Did Not Owe a Duty of Care to the Plaintiff
Being sued can be stressful and could be financially devastating if you lose. You are required to file a response to a complaint after being served. Generally, there is a 20-day time limit to file your response. Failure to file a response could result in a default judgment being entered against you. You could be sued for many reasons.
These reasons may include but are not limited to:
