What Is Malicious Prosecution?

Individuals, businesses, and law firms are sued every day. In a few of these instances, the underlying cases have no merit and the lawsuits are filed for harassment purposes. These are called malicious prosecutions and can give rise to separate claims against the persons or entities who filed the original lawsuits.

In order to bring a claim for malicious prosecution, among other requirements, you must have a favorable termination in the underlying lawsuit (i.e., you must be the prevailing party in the underlying case).

What Types of Cases Give Rise to Malicious Prosecution Actions?

Many types of claims give rise to malicious prosecution actions. One of the more common types of claims underlying a malicious prosecution action is a legal malpractice claim. However, any case brought maliciously against you can potentially give rise to a malicious prosecution claim.
