Orlando legal terms you need to know
Both law firms and their law suits have a language of their own. However, it is unfortunate that many Orlando Law Firms often forget that they are speaking to everyday people who find it hard to make out what is going on. Hearing strange words and terms from a law firm is so common that people have to actually stop their lawyers and ask them to repeat what they said in layman’s terms. In order to make sense of all the terms that lawyers throw around, we have compiled a list of the most commonly used terms and what they mean.
Term no. 1: Credibility
Credibility is another word for believable when you say something. A credible person is someone who is honest, trustworthy and most of all believable, especially when they are testifying. Solid credibility can mean the difference between a settlement or the case being thrown out of court. Credibility comes into play the most when both the sides are telling two totally different stories. The judge is then forced to choose one story over the other. While in layman’s terms ‘incredible’ means something, which is really good in court it means someone or something, which cannot be believed.

 
Term no. 2: Damages
The term damages refers to the money that a client will recover at the end of the lawsuit. However, this term is further broken down into more categories such as economic damages and also non-economic damages. While the lawsuits in which businesses are involved will have different measures essentially the idea of the term damages is the same across both commercial and domestic lawsuits.
Term no. 3: Default
The term ‘Default’ is actually a process in which the court will bar a party either the defendant or the plaintiff prior to advancing towards defenses and claims, since they failed to fulfill something, which was required as per the court rules. While these defaults are certainly a valuable tool in the lawsuit, a judge will also often lift the default once the party complies with the requested requirement.
