Defendant

“The defendant is the person or party against whom a lawsuit is filed, alleged to be responsible for causing harm or injury.”

The defendant responds to claims made by the plaintiff and may defend themselves against allegations of liability. Understanding the role of a defendant is important for both parties involved in a lawsuit.

Legal representation ensures the defendant’s rights are protected throughout the process.

If you have been named as a defendant, seek legal advice promptly.
