What to do if you have been served in a civil litigation case

Civil litigation involves any legal action brought by one private citizen or business enterprise against another. The party initiating the lawsuit is known as the plaintiff, and the party being sued is the defendant.

Defendants receiving an official citation or notice of a lawsuit should never assume time is on their side, since they are unlikely to be aware of the many deadlines related to their cases. If you receive official notice of a lawsuit, you should take the following actions immediately:

• Contact a civil litigation lawyer with specific experience in the area of law related to the lawsuit. If the case involves a personal injury claim, make sure the attorney has personal injury litigation experience.
• Contact your insurance provider to check if the claim is covered by an insurance policy. If it is, the insurer may provide an attorney to represent you and cover any of the losses incurred as a result of the claim.

Civil litigation comes in many forms, but certain types of legal actions are far more common than others. Some San Antonio attorneys have considerable experience in one of these areas but not others. A reputable civil attorney should have specific experience with the following matters:

Real estate and civil litigation

Civil litigation lawyers are often hired to represent individuals and businesses in matters related to real estate disputes. Solid legal representation can often be the key to ensuring that such transactions proceed smoothly. When transactions go bad, a civil litigation attorney can protect you in matters of breach of contract or fraud.
