Lawsuit: A lawsuit is a formal legal action made by one party or group of people (the plaintiff[s]) against another person or corporation (the defendant[s]) in which recovery is sought for damages suffered by the plaintiff(s). The lawsuit is formally initiated with the filing of a complaint in the proper court of law.

Liability: The legal conclusion that some person or some corporation is responsible for injuries suffered by the plaintiff(s). An experienced attorney will carefully review all the facts of an incident and apply the law to those facts in order to prove the liability of all responsible parties.
