WHAT IS A COUNTERCLAIM? A counterclaim is a claim made by the defendant in response to a complaint filed against them by the plaintiff. The counterclaim asserts that the plaintiff has caused harm to the defendant and seeks relief from the plaintiff.
WHY WOULD I NEED A COUNTERCLAIM? You would need a counterclaim if you believe that the plaintiff has caused harm to you and you wish to seek relief from them. A counterclaim allows you to assert your own claims against the plaintiff and potentially obtain a favorable judgment in your favor.
WHEN WOULD I NEED A COUNTERCLAIM? You would need a counterclaim when you are the defendant in a lawsuit and believe that the plaintiff has caused harm to you. The counterclaim is typically filed at the same time as the defendant’s answer to the plaintiff’s complaint.
HOW WOULD I USE A COUNTERCLAIM? You would use a counterclaim to assert your own claims against the plaintiff and seek relief from them. The counterclaim should include a statement of the facts, the legal claims being asserted, and the specific relief being sought.
