How to Sue

Mastering the Art of Suing

Should I Sue My Employer? Should I Sue My Contractor? When Should You Sue?

If you are thinking about suing somebody, there are three questions to ask before initiating a lawsuit.

Do I have a good case? It is usually rather easy to determine if you have a good case. For each type of lawsuit, the legal points that you must prove are well defined. Talk to a lawyer and ask them if they think you have a strong case.
Is suing my best option? There are many way to resolve matters outside of the courtroom and avoid unnecessary expense. You can speak directly with your adversary and try to negotiate a mutually salutary compromise. Or you can rent a mediator -- a neutral third nobody who will help you and your adversary to evaluate your goals and options in order to find a solution which functions for each one. Moreover, and particularly if your contract envisages him, you can be able to subject your conflict to the compulsory arbitration.

What will I gain if I sue and will I be able to collect it? A judgement is worth nothing if the businesses or the individual you sued are insolvent, go bankrupt or disappear. If you cannot identify a reliable source of money for collection, think twice before suing.
