Re: Can I sue again

Thanks for your posting.

As you mentioned, it depends on whether or not your lawsuit was dismissed "with prejudice", meaning that you can't bring any related action against the same defendant again. This is a big issue, and you can check with the clerk's office to find out if it was with or without prejudice. If you file a lawsuit that was dismissed with prejudice again, you may subject yourself to sanctions, including paying the other party's attorneys fees, among others.

I hope that this information helps, but if you have other questions, need more information, or feel that you need legal representation, please feel free to contact me directly at [email protected]. I�m happy to help if I can.

Re: Can I sue again

1. If the case was dismissed, then you need to know whether or not it was dismissed with prejudice. If yes, then you cannot re-file; if no, then you can... unless the statute of limitations has passed.

2. If a judgment was entered against you, you need to file a motion for a new trial. You only have 60 days to bring such a motion.

If you need more specific advice, please contact me directly.

Re: Can I sue again

Based on the limited information, it is difficult to determine if you can "sue again." Normally, after a judgment is entered, your only option is to appeal the decision. If you are in the area, please do not hesitate to contact our office for further consultation.
