A lawsuit is a civil action brought before a court in which the party commencing the action (the plaintiff) seeks a legal remedy. If the plaintiff is successful, judgment will be given in the plaintiff’s favor, and a range of court orders may be issued to enforce a right, impose a penalty, award damages, impose an injunction to prevent an act or compel an act or to obtain a declaratory judgment to prevent future legal disputes.
It usually involves dispute resolution of private law issues between individuals, business entities or non-profit organizations. However, it may involve public law issues in those jurisdictions that enable the government to be treated as if it were a private party in a lawsuit (as plaintiff or defendant regarding an injury), or that provide the government with a civil cause of action to enforce certain laws rather than criminal prosecution.
The lawsuit begins with the plaintiff filing a complaint with the court.
Most Florida law firms have a record of success in the negotiation and litigation of personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits at all levels of the Florida state and federal courts. Each attorney at these firms is an experienced Florida trial lawyer capable of investigating, preparing and presenting complex personal injury actions after a serious injury or death.
