Filing Complaint Considerations
Summary
When filing a complaint, consider jurisdiction, venue, and service of process. A neutral party must serve the complaint, excluding the plaintiffs attorney. In Massachusetts, defendants generally have 20 days to respond. A complaint is a pleading under Rule 7(a). Money damages are legal, not equitable. An injunction orders a party to act or refrain from acting. Special damages are easily documented. For negligence, Massachusetts jury instructions cover duty, breach, causation, and damages, with defenses like contributory negligence and assumption of risk. Access legal databases or local law libraries for specific instructions.Full Conversation
