Death Actions

Conversion Attorney & Civil Litigation Support

Animal-related incidents can result in serious physical injuries, emotional trauma, and
unexpected financial burdens. When pet owners, businesses, or property holders fail to control or properly manage animals, the consequences can be life-altering. Animal cases fall under civil litigation and often involve complex questions of responsibility, negligence, and local law compliance.

At Norcross Injury Law, we represent individuals harmed by animals and help them pursue accountability, compensation, and justice through strategic civil litigation.

What Is Abuse of Process?

Abuse of Process happens when:

A lawsuit, motion, subpoena, or legal filing is used for a purpose other than resolving the actual dispute.
Legal procedures become tools of harassment.
The opposing party attempts to achieve a result that the legal action was never designed to accomplish.
Even if the lawsuit itself has some basis, the improper use of the court system is what makes the claim actionable.

Common Examples of Abuse of Process

Abuse of Process can occur in many legal contexts. Common situations include:

Filing lawsuits solely to pressure someone

For example: trying to force a business partner into settling unrelated debts.

Using subpoenas to gather private information

Misusing court orders to gain leverage in business or personal matters.

Filing motions intended to delay or drain financial resources

Forcing someone to spend time or money defending repetitive or unnecessary filings.

Threatening a legal action to obtain something unrelated

Such as demanding property, money, or personal concessions unrelated to the dispute.

Attempting to embarrass or publicly harm someone

Using legal filings to expose personal information or damage reputation.

How Abuse of Process Affects You

Improper legal actions can cause serious harm, including:

Emotional stress and anxiety
Unnecessary attorney fees
Damage to personal or professional reputation
Loss of business opportunities
Disruption of daily life
Coercion or forced decisions under pressure

These consequences can be long-lasting, especially if the wrongdoing continues over months or years.

Proving an Abuse of Process Claim

To successfully pursue a claim, an attorney typically demonstrates:

Improper Use of Legal Procedure
The opposing party used a legal tool—lawsuit, subpoena, order, motion—in a way it was never meant to be used.
Intent to Achieve an Unlawful Objective
Their goal was not justice, but harassment, coercion, intimidation, or financial pressure.
Harm to You
Coercion or forced decisions under pressure
You suffered damages such as financial loss, emotional distress, or reputational harm.

Norcross Injury Law conducts detailed investigations to gather evidence, uncover motive, and prove intentional misuse of the legal system.
