In California, the prevailing party in a case may be entitled to recover attorney fees under certain circumstances, as specified by statutes or the terms of a contract. However, if a case is dismissed without a decision on the merits, it may be more challenging to recover attorney fees unless there is a specific legal basis for such a claim.
Yes! If you win the case, but you have to ask for it when you counter sue.
That depends on the state the case is in and the nature of the dispute. As an example, in New Jersey, litigants are responsible for paying their own legal fees whether they win or lose except where a statute or court rule specifically permits an award of counsel fees to the prevailing party or if the court finds that the dismissed action was frivolous or maliciously brought. Unless there is a specific law or rule allowing a prevailing party to recover attorney fees, then the party cannot. Other states can and will have different rules, so one must look to the laws of the state where the litigation took place.
no
Yes. You can sue for whatever you feel is appropriate and worth the attorney fees. It will be up to the judge (or jury, if you get one) to decide the outcome.
The debtor does not sue. The creditor does. And yes, these suits generally include the debt, interest accrued, and the costs associated with collecting, such as attorney fees.
Why would you sue your own insurance?
The lender can sue for the amount of the loan (including interest and late fees), and any legal fees (such as court filing fees and attorney's fees). They COULD garnish wages and repo any collateral used to "get" the loan.
Send a copy of your payment evidence to the board by certified mail and request that they correct their records. If the board continues to pursue you, find a common interest community-savvy attorney, and take your evidence into a meeting with the attorney, then request that the attorney send a letter to the board.
can my attorney in fact sue me for divorce
You would need to sue the other party in the accident and not the insurance company itself. It was the other party that caused your injuries and not the carrier.
You should consult with an attorney who can review your situation and your contract. If your contract was properly drafted and signed by the other party you can sue for breach of contract.
