As regular readers here know, my aim is to keep you out of court. However, when that is not possible, it is important that you understand the process and procedure for how you will get sued, what happens then, and when there might finally be resolution.
Previously, I explained this process in detail in a series of posts entitled Law & Order: Hard Hat Files. For newer readers and for reference, here are all sections of the 9 part series (really, 10 parts, with the introduction).
