How a Civil Rights Lawsuit Works
Filed and handled in either state or federal civil court, civil rights violation cases begin with you, the plaintiff, filing a complaint with the court. This complaint is intended to prove that the alleged civil rights violation, and resulting harm, is the direct responsibility of the defendant.
- Though every case is different, most civil cases will involve the following:
- Filing court papers for the initial complaint.
- “Discovery” in which all facts and information are unearthed.
- Resolving the situation without going to trial, via court motions, settlement, or some other dispute resolution, OR,
- Going to trial to resolve the situation by way of a jury verdict.
- Collecting settlement following judgment.
