A quick definition of lawsuit:

A lawsuit is when one person or group takes legal action against another person or group. They go to court to have a judge decide who is right and who is wrong. The court can give different kinds of solutions depending on what the person who started the lawsuit wants. Sometimes the case is heard in a court of law, and sometimes it's heard in a court of equity.

A more thorough explanation:

A lawsuit is a legal action taken by one person or entity against another person or entity. It is a civil case that is decided in a court of law or equity. The person or entity who brings the lawsuit is called the plaintiff, and the person or entity being sued is called the defendant.

  • A person who was injured in a car accident may file a lawsuit against the driver who caused the accident.
  • A company that believes its intellectual property has been stolen may file a lawsuit against the alleged infringer.
  • A landlord who is owed rent by a tenant who refuses to pay may file a lawsuit to collect the unpaid rent.

These examples illustrate how a lawsuit is a legal action taken by one party against another to seek a remedy for a perceived wrong. In each case, the plaintiff is seeking some form of compensation or relief from the defendant, and the case will be decided by a court of law or equity.
