Legally Sue Someone
After you file your lawsuit, you must inform the defendant (or defendants, if you are suing more than one person or entity) that you are suing. This is called a “process service.” You must have “served” copies of all documents you filed with the court on each party to the application. This means that you must have someone (not you) who is 18 years of age or older have a copy of the documents delivered to the other party. When you are serving someone for the first time in a case, such as when the case is just beginning, you usually have to serve it personally. Read the Processing Services section to find out how you can serve the defendant. From Ohio, I was planning to meet someone for a date who was out of town. I paid for a plane ticket ($250); My appointment paid me for half that. Also, my date paid for an AirBnB that I didn`t pay anything ($300). I changed my mind about meeting him, and now he is threatening to sue for small claims. No formal contract was signed, but I mentioned in an email that I would refund it.
Lawsuits are long and difficult, especially for someone who doesn`t make a living from it. How do you know the pre-submission requirements? What are the pre-registration requirements? Do you know how to prepare for hearings and testimony? How should you behave in court? Do you have to bow to someone? I`m sorry that happened to you. If someone takes your personal property without your permission, the appropriate cause of action is “conversion.” I recommend talking to a lawyer in your area so you can begin the process of getting your property (or damages). Most initial consultations with lawyers are free and you can use our online directory if you don`t know where to look for a lawyer. Unfortunately, if you wanted to sue someone in Small Claims Court, you would have to do so in the state where they live. You can sometimes deliver documents by mail, but you will have to follow the court rules of the state where the other person lives. I had a verbal agreement with someone about the law to help them by allowing my name to be used to get an ATT account because they couldn`t because they “already had an account” for their mother`s help. A year later, I learned that she had not closed the account, had not submitted any devices, and claimed to have returned them.
I visited her recently and she showed “evidence” that did not turn out to be evidence of the return of these accounts. I told him that the documents presented were false and we agreed to meet and call ATT to fix the problem. Over time, she called me several times to tell me things. At this point, she seemed to be a lie. So I acted accordingly by asking a few questions to those she included in her stories and they denied her allegations. I told her to ask her why she was lying, but she flipped the tables and made it look like I was harassing her and pretending I was crazy. I want to sue them because I have some (recorded) oral evidence for their words. How do I get started? I have no idea what I need or talk to. So how can you sue someone in the first place? How do I get started? Before you do that, stop and ask yourself a few questions first. As for a lawsuit against the drunk driver, you should talk to a lawyer. If there is no police report and no evidence other than the word of the eyewitness, it might be difficult to prove it.
But if you`re considering it, a lawyer can help you consider your options. Enjuris has a directory of lawyers who can help you find someone who can work on your case. I used someone`s photo to promote the learning project, and the photo I took on the Ministry of Education website, I have an injury in my left eye, where I was beaten by someone. I go to the doctor and discover that my eye will never see again. What can I do? I was hanged from the back by someone who had been drinking. The witness asked the man who beat me if he had been drinking because he smelled of alcohol. The man who hit me said he was drinking. The police didn`t show up for 2 hours, so there are no tickets or anything to prove he was drunk, and now my 2019 Mazada, which I`ve only had for 11 months, is totaled. The car cost 22,000.00 I owe 14,000.00 and the insurance gives me 17,000.00. I have to pay for the car, then the $5,000 I paid for it, and the car itself will disappear forever. Can I sue the man who beat me? First, you need to know if you have the right to take legal action against the person or company you have a dispute with.
To sue in court, you must be a person directly affected by the lawsuit you are suing. From a legal point of view, this is called “locus santi”. In a divorce agreement, I was given land. My son wanted to buy the property. I sold it to him for forty thousand dollars. Since he was my son, I expected him to pay me the money, but he didn`t. I know he got the money by taking out a bank loan. He kept telling me he would pay me, but he never did. Do I have a case to bring him to justice? Or what can I legally do to get money or a house back? Hello, Sandra. I am very sorry for your loss. I can understand that you want answers and you want to hold someone accountable if that is the case.
It sounds like you`re considering medical malpractice. Medical malpractice is treated differently depending on the condition you are in. These are very, very complicated cases and sometimes there are several accused. Fortunately, there are lawyers who specialize exactly in this area of law. I would suggest contacting a medical malpractice attorney in your state who can help. Most personal injury lawyers offer a free initial consultation, and the lawyer will advise you on your best approach. Also, don`t wait too long. Each state has a statute of limitations, which is a deadline by which a lawsuit for medical malpractice must be filed.
If you let too much time pass, the court will not accept your case. Do not hesitate to use the directory of Enjuris law firms in personal injury to find a lawyer in your area who can help you. Again, I`m really sorry for your loss. Another example is someone who does a bad job after you hire them to fix your home. It can`t be a breach of contract because the job has been done, it`s just done wrong. In some cases, you may not be able to sue anyone for the type of case you think you have, but there are other ways to resolve the situation. You can reach an agreement with them outside of court and in return, you agree not to sue. In general, the original tenants (the “sub-landlords”) remain liable to the landlord for the rent, even if the subtenant does not pay. The problem you have is that you can`t get in touch with the tenant. There are steps you can take if you don`t know the subtenant`s address (service by posting, etc.), but these steps are usually expensive. If you think the tenant is accessible, I recommend contacting a private investigator. Private investigators can often find up-to-date addresses and phone numbers based solely on a person`s name.
To win your case, you must prove what the defendant owes you. Receipts, repair estimates and warranties are evidence to help you prove your case. If someone knows about your case firsthand, that person is a witness. The hearing where you have to prove your case to the judge is the main hearing. A magistrate is the judge. It will hear witnesses from both sides and consider all evidence. The magistrate then renders a decision or judgment. If you misunderstand the elements, the court may feel sorry for you as someone who acts pro se (without a lawyer) and allows you to file a new application, but some judges will reject your case. At the very least, ask a lawyer what type of case you have to make sure you`re correct the first time.
If you sue someone, you are the plaintiff.
