Legal Question in Business Law in Washington

Re: Just received lawsuit papers, How to reply

Most importantly, you have 20 days to answer the complaint. This means that you must admit, deny, admit in part or deny in part each and every allegation in the complaint. Once you have done that, you should file an answer with the Court containing those answers.

However, if the claim is for something that might be insured, you should submit it to your insurance company who will likely assign defense counsel and defend you against this lawsuit.

I would welcome an opportunity to assist you in this matter. Please do not hesitate to contact me.

Good luck!
