Malicious Prosecution

Malicious Prosecution

Malicious prosecution occurs when a person or entity initiates legal action against another without probable cause and with improper intent. When legal proceedings are used as a tool to harass, intimidate, or cause harm rather than resolve legitimate disputes, civil law provides remedies for those wrongfully targeted.

Norcross Civil Trials represents individuals and businesses harmed by abusive litigation practices. Our firm works to hold responsible parties accountable and recover damages resulting from improper legal actions.

Understanding Malicious Prosecution Under Civil Law

Malicious prosecution claims arise when legal proceedings are initiated or continued without justification and with harmful intent. These claims are designed to prevent misuse of the legal system and protect individuals from baseless litigation.

A malicious prosecution claim often follows the conclusion of the underlying case.

Civil Case Filed with Malice, Without Cause, and Dismissed

A malicious prosecution claim may exist when there was a civil case against you with malice, without cause, and dismissed. These elements are central to establishing liability.

Key factors courts consider include:

  • The original lawsuit lacked probable cause
  • The case was initiated with malicious intent
  • The proceeding ended in your favor
  • You suffered damages as a result

Norcross Civil Trials carefully evaluates these elements to determine whether a malicious prosecution claim is viable.

Examples of Malicious Prosecution

Malicious prosecution claims may arise from situations such as:

  • Filing lawsuits solely to harass or intimidate
  • Initiating legal action without supporting evidence
  • Pursuing claims known to be false
  • Continuing litigation after claims are proven invalid
  • Using legal proceedings to gain unrelated leverage

These actions can cause significant financial and emotional harm.
