An appeal is a request to a higher court to review a lower court’s decision. An appeal can be filed by either the plaintiff or the defendant in a case. The process of appealing a claim can be complex, so it is important to consult with an attorney if you are considering filing an appeal.
There are many reasons why a party might choose to appeal a claim. For example, a party may appeal a lower court’s decision if they believe that the court made a legal error, that the jury’s verdict was not supported by the evidence, or that the damages awarded were excessive or inadequate. In some cases, a party may also appeal a lower court’s decision in order to delay the enforcement of the judgment.
