Re: Can I Be Sued By A Former Co-Worker Because Of A Personal Letter

she will not win any lawsuit based on a letter you sent to her.

Re: Can I Be Sued By A Former Co-Worker Because Of A Personal Letter

The simple answer to your question is yes. Anyone

can sue anyone else for whatever they wish; all it

takes is a couple hundred dollars and a complaint.

Once the complaint is filed, and a copy of the complaint

served on you, you are in litigation.

That having been said, whether your ex-coworker is

able to win a lawsuit against you is another matter.

Unfortunately, whether your coworker wins or losses

her lawsuit, you are likely to incur substantial

costs in the form of attorneys fees and costs to

defend yourself, which you may never be able to recover.

If you are served with a complaint in this matter,

you should IMMEDIATELY, contact an attorney in your

area to discuss this matter. If you are sued, and

you do not respond to the complaint, you risk

having a default judgment entered against you that

in essence would give the plaintiff whatever relief

she seeks in the complaint. This response must

be filed within a specified period of time (usually

within 30 days, in California) after the complaint

is served on you.

Your Former Co-Worker can file a lawsuit against you. However, based on the facts that you stated, you should prevail in any litigation stemming from the letter. Unfortantly, you will have to get an attorney to defend yourself in the suit. I suggest you hire an attorney as soon as you find out she did file a complaint agianst you. Good Luck
