What to do when you receive a claim?

"Remember to respond to a lawsuit in time to avoid future complications."

It is important to know that when you receive a demand from the authority, you cannot ignore it, since, even if you do not sign received, or that you are not the one who If someone who lives or works in the home has received, the fact that the judicial officer who appears at the home, affirms that they can find you at that address, already gives as notified.

In the event of receiving a subpoena, for example from the Prosecutor's Office, by not attending the first one, a second or even a third summons will surely be made; but in the event that a person who identifies himself as a judicial official attached to a court arrives and attends to notify a claim, the situation is different, since, within the documentation that will be delivered, there is a document called “Writ of Filing” , this being the first response that a judge gives when a person files a lawsuit.

Generally, in the Writ of Filing, the term to answer the claim is indicated, this means that it indicates the days that the Judge grants the defendant to give answer to the filed complaint , in said answer you must include, the evidence, exceptions, and all other useful elements to defend your position in the trial.

IMPORTANT: It is necessary to answer the claim, within the term indicated by the judge, since it is the only opportunity given to the lawsuit party to present the elements mentioned above.

So, as I have mentioned, it is important to answer the claim as quickly as possible after being notified, since, by not doing so, you basically lose all the chances of winning the trial, for missing the opportune moment to make the answer.

If you do not understand what is said in the document provided by the authority, it is important to go to a Professional, for legal advice, and provide him with all the facts and details necessary to make the answer.
