Complaint

COMPLAINT. This form is used in the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia to begin a civil lawsuit in federal court. This document allows one or more plaintiffs to identify themselves and the defendant(s), provide contact information, and establish the basis for federal jurisdiction—either through a federal question, diversity of citizenship, or because the U.S. government is a defendant. Plaintiffs must state the facts of their claim, including how and when the defendant allegedly violated the law and what harm resulted, without citing legal statutes or arguments. The form also includes space to specify the relief being sought, such as monetary compensation or other remedies, and allows plaintiffs to request a jury trial if desired. www.FormsWorkflow.com
