What Is the Civil Litigation Process?
Civil litigation encompasses a diverse range of cases. These involve legal situations in which one party is seeking money from another, or both parties are seeking money. They can also involve instances in which one or both parties want to put a stop to certain conduct through the use of a court order called an injunction.
In any type of civil litigation case, one party would begin the lawsuit process by drafting a complaint, filing it with the court, and serving it on the other party. The defendant could turn around and also file a counterclaim against the plaintiff.
Broadly speaking, the two parties will gather information from each other through the discovery process. They would then either negotiate a resolution to the case or take the lawsuit to trial in front of a judge or jury.

Why Retain a Lawyer in Civil Litigation Cases?
The civil litigation process is detailed and complex. You must be prepared to present the strongest possible case. With a civil litigation lawyer assisting, you may be in a better position to settle your case on more favorable terms or win at trial.
A civil litigation attorney can investigate the facts of your case and help you compile the evidence that you need to prove your side of the story. They will also determine how much you may be due in damages should you win or settle your case.
Your attorney’s main role is to ensure that your legal rights are protected during the process when the insurance company or the defendant tries to encroach on them. You need a voice during your case who knows the law and the legal process.
How a Civil Litigation Attorney Is Paid in South Carolina
Your civil litigation attorney has their interests aligned with yours in the legal process. Their compensation only comes when and if you are paid damages in your case.
The size of their check is tied to the amount of money that you recover because they receive a percentage of the proceeds of your case. A civil litigation attorney will not ask you to pay money from your pocket for their services, and they will not send you a bill for their services if you do not win your case. Ultimately, there is no risk to you in getting legal help.
