When it comes to Civil Litigation, how do you deal with it?

 A person who wants to sue, or "claimant," should write a letter before they sue. This letter should explain why they want to sue. The person who received the letter, known as Defendant, should then write a letter back. If Defendant does so, the two sides can reach a fair and reasonable agreement in a civil litigation case.

It can be done in court if the Defendant doesn't answer or the communication breaks down. People who want to sue someone should consider how much money and what kind of case they have before deciding which court they should start in. Starting a case in the wrong court can cause it to take a long time to finish.

As soon as the proceedings have been sent to the court and then the Defendant, there is a set time frame to file a defense to the proceedings. It could lead to a judge making an order favoring the Claimant based on what the Claimant says.

If a defense is filed, the court sets a deadline for each party to follow "Directions." If you don't follow these directions, your claim or defense could be thrown out in civil litigation.

Once court proceedings have been started, can only a judge decide what happens next in the case?

Not at all. The Claimant and the Defendant can keep talking and working on the case until the last court hearing, called a Trial. The minute before a trial starts in the courthouse, it is even possible to come to a deal. When trying to settle, both sides should keep in mind that their opponents' legal fees will go up the longer the case. There is a chance that this could change the value of any settlement.
