What is a Civil Complaint? The complaint is the document that you file with the magisterial district court to begin your civil action against a person or business. You are listed as the plaintiff and the person you are suing is the defendant.
To begin a civil lawsuit in federal court, the plaintiff files a complaint with the court and serves a copy of the complaint on the defendant.
The complaint is the document that sets out the Plaintiffs charges against the Defendant.
You have to go to the police, the FBI, or the government prosecutor - the District Attorney (local or state law) or the States Attorney (federal law) - and ask that a case be filed. The prosecutor then decides whether the case is strong enough and/or important enough to pursue.
As in most states, the statute of limitations in civil cases in Pennsylvania is two years. In most cases, this means that victims have two years from the date of their injury to file a civil lawsuit.
