Civil Litigation
There are many ways to resolve conflicts, and one of them is through litigation. This is where a dispute is taken to court for a resolution. When legal matters reach litigation, it becomes more difficult to deal with them. A civil case often starts when one party (a person or business) called a plaintiff claims to have been affected by actions of another party, which could also be another person or business. As a plaintiff, it is advisable to work with a civil litigation lawyer. An attorney has the knowledge and skills to present facts and fight for you to get compensation for the damages.
The Different Types Of Cases
Below are examples of the different kinds of cases that can be resolved using litigation.
- Employment disputes: These are disagreements between employees and employers regarding the rights of an employee. This could be a conflict regarding work hours, wages, vacation time, bonuses, or benefits.
- Real estate disputes: These are disagreements regarding property or the land where a property is sitting. Most of the time, such cases are between a real estate firm and an individual or between two people after a private sale.
- Business litigation: Civil litigation cases involving businesses include issues like fraud, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, conversion, and interference with potential or existing economic relationships.
- Premises liability matters: Such cases can vary from a simple trip-and-fall to landowner’s liability for acts of crime.
- Construction litigation: Civil litigation claims involving construction include breach of construction contracts, payment claims, indemnity, construction defects, and enforcement of lien rights.
When dealing with litigation cases, it is best to hire a litigation attorney instead of representing yourself. For starters, legal matters are often emotional and heated, which can cloud your judgment. An attorney remains objective and focuses on the bigger picture. Plus, an experienced lawyer has legal knowledge and has dealt with similar cases before. This increases the chances of winning the case.
