What to Do If You’re Facing a Lawsuit

Getting served with legal papers can be stressful, but the worst thing you can do is ignore them. Whether it’s a business dispute, personal injury claim, or contract issue, taking the right steps early can make a huge difference in the outcome.

Steps to Take If You’re Sued:

1. Do Not Ignore It – Failing to respond can lead to a default judgment against you.
2. Gather All Relevant Documents – Contracts, emails, and any communication related to the case can help in your defense.
3. Avoid Direct Communication with the Other Party – Anything you say can be used against you in court.
4. Consult an Attorney Immediately – A skilled lawyer can help you build a strong defense or negotiate a favorable settlement.
