What Are the Main Steps in the Civil Litigation Process?
The civil litigation process depends on many factors, including the severity of the dispute and each side’s willingness to negotiate. However, in Virginia, the process follows a few main steps, including:
- Filing a complaint – A plaintiff files a complaint with the court to start the civil litigation process. If the matter is a personal injury or similar matter, the issue may be subject to a statute of limitations, so acting quickly is essential.
- Filing an answer or motion – The other party may answer the complaint, raise defenses, or offer counterclaims. Please note that each party may retain an attorney to help achieve their goals and ensure the process goes as smoothly as possible. It is especially recommended to speak with an attorney if a complaint is filed against you.
- Settlement – With the help of knowledgeable lawyers, the lawsuit may be resolved through negotiations. This is usually preferable to taking the matter to court, which can be expensive and time-consuming.
- Court – A judge will oversee the litigation if the issue is unresolved in negotiations.
