What to Expect in a Civil Rights Lawsuit
Civil rights violation cases are filed and handled in federal or state civil court. The plaintiff will file a complaint with the court an effort to prove that the defendant is responsible for the alleged civil rights violation and any harm caused as a result. If the case goes to trial, the plaintiff must prove by a preponderance of the evidence that the defendant is responsible for the alleged violation.
Typically, a complete civil case will involve the following stages:
- Beginning the case by filing the initial court papers
- Discovering facts and uncovering all information
- Reaching a resolution without going to trial via court notions
- Reaching a resolution without going to trial via settlement or alternative dispute resolution
- Going to trial and reaching a verdict
- Collecting money after a judgment has been made
- Filing an appeal
