From Filing to Serving: Your Guide to Serving the Complaint in Your Employment Lawsuit
You’ve filed the complaint for your employment lawsuit. What happens next? The process of serving the complaint is your gateway to alerting the defendant to the lawsuit and ensuring they understand the gravity of the situation. Understanding this step and its proper execution is absolutely vital to the outcome of your case.
In this episode, Tom explains how properly serving the complaint allows the plaintiff to obtain a default judgment if the defendant fails to respond. Listen in to learn about the consequences the defendant faces if they do not pay the judgment.
Serving the complaint also ties into stopping the statute of limitations in your case. It's essential to file your lawsuit within the specified time frame, and Tom offers insights into strategies for doing so, whether in state or federal court.
This episode is the second in our series, where Tom walks you through every phase of a civil lawsuit. Once the complaint has been served, there will be some requirements from the defendant to answer the complaint. We will get into that in the next podcast episode.
If you missed the previous episode about what to include in your complaint, be sure to give it a listen.
