Sometimes going to court is inevitable, especially if you are running a business. A customer may fail to pay an invoice, a supplier may fail to deliver as promised, and so on and so forth.

Understanding the different types of litigations available will help you determine which case you can file. According to the ABA – American Bar Association, the main types of disputes for commercial cases include the following:

• Civil rights matters
• Product liabilities
• Intellectual property
• Mass torts
• Consumer litigation
• Energy and environmental matters
• Antitrust litigation
• Data and privacy security

In actual sense, the list is much longer, and when you feel that you have a case to file, talking with a qualified attorney can help you identify the type of litigation you can bring against someone.

At The Moore Law Group, LLC, we offer all types of litigations.  We pride ourselves at offering a big firm experience, while providing services with small firm values. Our approach provides innovative and individualized legal solutions to a wide range of legal issues.

 

What is Litigation?

Litigation is a process that most people use to resolve disputes in a court of law. In the federal courts, litigation is usually governed by federal rules, which include:

• The federal rules for criminal procedure
• The federal rules for civil procedure
• The federal rules for appellate procedure
• The federal rules for evidence
• The federal rules for bankruptcy

These rules are supplemented through the local rules in each court and the standing orders for the judges.

The Different Types of Litigation Available

Depending on the type of dispute you wish to resolve, your lawyer will be able to help you identify the specific type of litigation they will use, and the suit they will file in court. Here’s a look at the different types of litigations available to you:

 

Commercial Litigation

Commercial litigation is applied when business entities or individuals present a dispute in court. It could be between partners, business owners, shareholders or competing businesses.

Examples include unfair competition, breach of contract, fraud, defamation or construction disputes.

 

Personal Injury Litigation

Individuals who file personal injury litigation do so with the intention of getting legal remedies for losses they suffered from an accident.

Usually, the plaintiff seeks financial compensation from the defendant whose role caused harm either intentionally or due to carelessness.

 

Product Liability

These are laws that are designed to protect consumers from defective or faulty products. Injured consumers can also file a personal injury claim against the product designer for a faulty product.

 

Consumer Litigation

Consumer litigation protects consumers from false advertising, broken contracts, fraud and faulty products or services. It also includes fairness in refunds, warranties, services contracts and exchanges.

 

Civil Rights Matters

Civil rights litigation involves the enforcement of constitutional rights of every citizen to be safeguarded against discrimination and ensure people have equal access to public facilities.

 

Intellectual Property

These laws are designed to protect commercial copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents and enforcement of IP rights. They also help protect your consumers’ data and sensitive information.

 

Privacy and Data Security

The laws of privacy and data security protect consumer rights to access their own information and records. They also correct inaccurate information and help consumers receive full disclosure on their information.

This includes the reason their data is being collected, where it is being stored and when it will be disclosed.

 

Antitrust litigation

Antitrust litigation is designed to protect business competition to benefit consumers, ensuring that businesses operate efficiently with fair and equal prices.

 

Mass Torts Claims

A mass tort claim involves multiple plaintiffs seeking compensation from a single defendant. Here, all plaintiffs have a common complaint.

 

Securities Class Actions

Just like mass torts claims, securities class action is all about securities fraud claims, multiple plaintiffs and single defendants as well.
