Frequently Asked Questions About Business Litigation
You can learn what to expect in your business litigation case by asking our attorneys important questions. Here are some answers to some frequently asked questions to get you started.
Who typically initiates business litigation in Florida?
The plaintiff is the one who files a complaint about a business dispute. For a business dispute, the plaintiff can be a company, business owner or employee who believes they were wronged by a defendant.
The plaintiff typically seeks damages for any issues caused by the defendant with the help of an attorney. An attorney can assist the plaintiff in collecting evidence, filing paperwork and protecting the plaintiff’s legal rights.
How long does business litigation typically last in Florida?
The time it takes to resolve a business dispute typically depends on several factors. Some cases may be resolved out of court in only a few months, especially when there is strong supporting evidence and the parties are motivated to settle.
However, if parties cannot reach an agreement or the issue is particularly complicated, a case may go to court. As a result of the typical court processes, a case might take a year – or several years – to settle.
Can I recover attorney fees and costs if I win my business litigation case?
Yes. If a party successfully pursues a case, the losing party may be obligated to pay for the other party’s attorney fees. However, reimbursement for attorney fees may not be contingent on a successful case.
There are several ways the winning party can recover damages for their attorney’s fees and costs, such as shifting the fees in an agreement. Our attorneys can help clients explore their legal options to recover maximum compensation.
How does the discovery process work in a business litigation case?
The discovery process is a crucial step in a business dispute case. Each party exchanges information to review a claim, defense and evidence.
There are several discovery tools used during a trial, including questioning each party and witnesses, requesting documents and confirming facts.
