You have to be served with process. When that happens, you'll know that you're being sued.
For further reading, see the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (or state equivalent, depending on your situation), especially Rule 4.
Not at this moment. The company recently lost a lawsuit against Ralcorp, who also produced a bowl-shaped tortilla chip. In 2012, a gentleman brought a suit against Frito-Lay because he claimed their food containers falsely advertised Sun Chips and some tortilla chips as being all-natural.
There is no legal prohibition to it, but who would want to buy a lawsuit. In such cases, arrangements can be made whereby some part of the proceeds of sale remain in escrow pending the outcome of the litigation. Money that would have gone to the seller of the company now goes to the winner of the lawsuit and any remaining money goes to the former owner. That works only if the amount of the damages is known. If it seeks unliquidated damages in an unspecific amount, it will be difficult to sell. The damages could exceed the value of the company.
If you didn't get the item you ordered and the company kept your money without offering a refund or exchange of some sort you can sue them in small claims court. The company benefited from your money so this is convergence. They can't do that.
Yes there is, try to talk to the lawyer. Try to find out if there is some way where the could sort things out without a lawsuit. As well as see if there is a program where you could get paid extra due to the lawsuit.
The first lawsuit against a company for asbestos was filed in 1929 however at that point in time it was difficult to prove that asbestos actually lead to Mesothelioma or cancer. There have been over 7,000 lawsuits filed in the United States alone, some of them were on the behalf of individuals and others were part of a group settlement.
If that is the only fact, no. You must suffer some harm, and you have a duty to notify the company that the information is incorrect and give it the opportunity to correct it.
A judgment is a court order that is awarded when a lawsuit is won by a plaintiff. The judgment can be executed in several ways pursuant to the laws of the state where it was awarded. Some of them are, garnishment of wages, levy of bank account(s), liens against real property, seizure and sale of nonexempt assets belonging to the defendant. Macky...(macky83@juno.com)
You may want to shop around. Several companies provide lawsuit settlement funding options, but some have high fees and wait periods associated with them that may not be attractive to you. Ask your lawyer if he or she reccommends a specific company, or do some comparison shopping on the web.
This is America...You can sue anybody anytime for any reason and some lawyer will take your case!
A person bringing a criminal lawsuit is typically called a prosecutor or a plaintiff in some jurisdictions. They represent the government and are responsible for bringing charges against the accused individual in court.
The answer is yes. It is possible to obtain a lawsuit loan, which is considered a lawsuit cash advance for avandia cases. One can apply by finding a lawsuit funding company and simply calling or filling out the application. (True companies will not charge for the application, it is free or at least most are) These lawsuit loan companies provide these on a non-recourse basis which means if the case is lost, there is no need to repay the advance back. Feel free to do some research on this to find the most recommended legal funding companies.
People can file a lawsuit against anyone. That does not mean that they will win. It will depend on your representation as well as if you are the legal owner of the car.
