• Notice Requirements

© Pribanic & Pribanic

Notice Requirements legal definition: The purpose of  “notice requirements” is to ensure all parties to a court action are made aware of said court action. Notice ensures that individuals who are being sued or criminally charged have due process.

There are three basic types of notice:

• In personam, which refers to when notice is made personally (i.e.: a summons)

• In rem, which is served through the mail, fax, or other reliable means of communication

• Notice of publication, which is made in a newspaper or website that gives notice to people who may have an interest in the case but who are not a party to it

Notice requirements vary by state and jurisdiction. However, notice requirements come into play with nearly every type of civil and criminal action, including:

• Car accident cases

• Slip and fall cases

• Workers’ Compensation cases

• Defective Product cases

• Medical Malpractice cases

• And other personal injury lawsuits
