A.Dear Client,

While you have the legal option to sue someone who is incarcerated for damages they caused before their conviction, pursuing this can be complex. Factors like evidence strength, extent of damages, and the defendant's assets play crucial roles. The key consideration is whether the incarcerated defendant can afford to pay the damages.

A.Dear Client,
You have the legal right to sue someone who is in jail or prison claiming compensation for damages caused by him before his conviction by the Court, but the logistics will be more challenging and complex. This will depend on factors such as the strength of the evidence against the defendant, the extent of your damages, and the amount of assets the defendant is likely to have. Since the defendant is behind bars, the most significant factor to consider likely is whether the defendant can pay the damages. Reach out to an Advocate for guidance and steps.
