Lawsuits and Litigation

During the course of running a business, entrepreneurs may find themselves facing a variety of lawsuits or otherwise be in need of an attorney. There are internal sources of litigation meaning an employee taking action against the employer or the employer taking action against an employee. There are also external sources of litigation meaning a consumer or distributor taking action against the company.

External lawsuits are everywhere in the news. Product liability claims and other personal injury cases are examples of these lawsuits. What happens when a consumer abuses a product and hurts his or herself? Some people are out for what they think is a quick buck and they may abuse our legal system to do it. It would be nice if every consumer was honest but that is not always the case. Companies need a team of lawyers helping to defend them against false personal injury claims, slander and libel.

Internal lawsuits can also destroy a company. Is an employee trying to claim discrimination when there is none? In today's society, a simple accusation of discriminatory practices can harm a business. Potential customers may not pay attention to the newspapers and learn that your company was exonerated in court. An accusation is enough to bias the consumer.

What happens when you suspect an employee of fraud, embezzlement, corporate espionage or other crimes? How can you handle it in a way that will minimize damage to your bottom line?

Sometimes businesses find themselves in the defendant's seat and sometimes they find themselves in the plaintiff's seat. Regardless of what side of the courtroom you sit, you need representation.

The legal process begins with a consultation with an attorney. When you sit down with a Smith and Garg lawyer, they listen to your concerns and explain what legal recourses you have. Next, they begin a fact finding mission. They look for documentation, witnesses or other evidence that can help you before a judge. What they look for will vary from case to case. Sometimes it is best to try to settle out of court. If this is the case, your attorney will inform you when the time is right to seek such an agreement. Eventually, your lawsuit may end up before a judge. Smith and Garg attorneys are experienced trial attorneys and are not afraid to present your case in court.

If you feel you need to initiate a lawsuit or defend yourself against litigation, contact Smith and Garg and schedule a consultation. The worst thing you can do is nothing. The second worst thing you can do is take action without proper legal counsel.
