Can i document type sign claim connecticut

good evening I'm Peter Bartnik a board-certified civil trial attorney practicing law here in Connecticut today's topic is a procedural matter we're just going to talk about what is a complaint in a civil case for example a car crash case a complaint you may have heard that term complaint at me it's got a its a legal term of art it's the charging document filed in a civil case so this is the documents a piece of paper where the plaintiff says this is the way I have been wronged and I'm entitled to recover under the law this is how I've been harmed and yeah that's what a complaint is it's a written claim for damages under the law in a complaint you're going to see the names of the parties usually you're going to start with the names of the names and contact information names and address of the parties or at least enough information to make it clear that this court has jurisdiction over the case so you're going to make sure the parties are for example for a Connecticut case the parties are typically in Connecticut so you want to make it clear that the Connecticut cord is jurisdiction so you're going to have the name of the parties you're gonna have a description of how what happened in the case you're a description of the facts you're going to have a description of the harm how have you been damaged and then there are other things you'll see in the complaint called a request for relief and some of the procedural aspects but for this video we're simply talking about generally what is a complaint and the complaint is the statement in writing why the plaintiff is entitled to recover under the law I hope that's helpful have a good afternoon bye-bye
