Steps When Suing Someone
When Planning to Sue….
I. CHECK YOUR BIRTH CERTIFICATE. You must be at least 18 years old in order to start a lawsuit. Also, make sure you are of sound mind and not crazy.
II. Even though you can sue anyone, make sure that the person you are suing, or the person who is responsible for the person you are suing has something in the bank to pay for damages.
III. DON’T BE CHEAP. Consult a Lawyer. If you do not get legal advice to make sure your claim is valid, the person you are suing could counter sue you and you might end up having to pay thousands of dollars of court fees and damages.
