What are your rights if you’ve been injured?
There are two basic court systems across the United States. Each state has its own state court system. These are all the local courthouses that can be found in virtually every county across the United States. For each state court system there is a state appeals court and most states have their own state supreme court. But there is also the federal court system. While the federal court system is also in every state and territory of the United States, none of these federal courthouses are part of the state court systems. They are totally separate systems with only one common factor, and that is that the top court for both the federal and the state court systems is the Supreme Court of the United States. This is the system that was set up the framers of our constitutional system who decided to separate out the state court systems from the federal court system. Anytime a lawyer gets ready to file a lawsuit for an injury claim, that lawyer must first decide where they can file the lawsuit. Some lawsuits can be filed in either federal court or state court. In some cases, the person being sued has a right to demand that the case be heard in federal court. The rules are complicated but an experienced lawyer can usually determine how to best protect their client’s rights.
