"File suit" means that a person (the "plaintiff"), either personally or through his or her attorney, goes to the courthouse and: gives a lawsuit against one or more people (or entities -- like companies) to the filing clerk; pays a filing fee (which is usually around one-hundred dollars); and receives a stamped copy of the lawsuit back from the clerk. The next step is servig the lawsuit. In order to require the person who is sued to "answer" under the law, the plaintiff has to "serve" the other party (the "defendant") with a copy of the lawsuit. That can be done in a number of ways, including by having a copy of the lawsuit given to the defendant in person, by leaving a copy of the lawsuit at the defendant's house or office with someone, and under certain circumstances, by putting a notice about the lawsuit in the newspaper. All of these methods of "service" have to be done in a particular way, so you need to find out the law in your state. Susan
