What Does Litigation Mean?
Litigation is a process by which a disputed claim is taken to court so that a legally binding ruling may be used to resolve the dispute. A Plaintiff is the person who brings the claim to court, and the Defendant is the person or party against whom the Plaintiff brings the claim. One of the perfect examples of a litigation dispute is a Los Angeles car accident claim. In a Los Angeles car accident claim, the Plaintiff seeks damages from the Defendant. Damages is a broad category that can encompass many different things. In the case of an auto accident, it can include damage to the Plaintiff’s vehicle, medical expenses incurred due to personal injury, as well as any loss of income which has resulted from the accident, and its affect on one’s ability to work. Litigation can be an expensive and time consuming process. For that reason, most Los Angeles car accident claims end up being settled out of court. If a settlement cannot be reached between the disputing parties, however, a claim will likely go to trial. Just because a claim goes to trial does not mean that negotiations for settlement have concluded, however. Because the entire litigation process is complex, even if the parties want to settle, it is very important to have a good attorney at your side to help you.
