A:
If your case was dismissed the first time and you face new charges later, you might have the option to pursue legal action again. Whether you can sue twice depends on the specifics of your situation, such as the nature of the new charges and how they relate to the original case.
While waiting for a trial, you may be able to file a lawsuit, but it's important to consider how this could affect the ongoing legal process. Timing and the details of your case play a significant role in determining the best approach.
It's important to consult with a qualified attorney who can provide guidance tailored to your circumstances. They can help you understand your rights and the best steps to take moving forward.
