If an individual believes a bank is responsible for forgery, a case can be brought against the bank to hold it responsible. The best advice on how to go about this can be given by a lawyer.
In order to sue someone, you have to have what is called "standing". Generally speaking, this means that you have to have suffered some harm. If the bank lost money as a result of the forgery, then they could sue.
I don't think you can sue the bank unless you can prove that they KNEW or SHOULD HAVE KNOWN that your signature was a forgery. Contact the bank and tell them what happened. Contact the police. Seems like a pretty clear cut case of forgery here.
It is called Forgery. You are not supposed cash a checks that belongs to someone else. The affected party (The person whose check you cashed) can sue you legally and you can be jailed for committing this forgery. In short, you'll end up behind bars if you happen to do this.
Ask your lawyer.
A person can sue a forger if the person suffered damages as a result of the forgery.
First, apologize to the Cherokee Indians. Somebody has to.
No, but you might be able to sue a banker.
Yes, the bank will sue you if you default on your home loan and place your house in foreclosure.
The bank doesn't need to sue. If the truck loan isn't paid the bank can/will repossess the truck.
For a criminal charge: two years.

The offense of falsifying somone else's signature is FORGERY, and you can report the offense to the police and they may be prosecuted. If you suffered any 'loss' because of the forgery you could then sue them in civil court for damages.
