What Is a Cross Complaint?

A cross complaint is a legal pleading filed by a defendant or another party already involved in an existing lawsuit. Rather than initiating a separate legal action, a cross complaint allows a party to bring claims against the plaintiff, co-defendants, or additional third parties who may share responsibility for damages or liability.

In California civil litigation, cross complaint assistance is commonly used in disputes involving the following:

    • Business disagreements
    • Contract breaches
    • Construction litigation
    • Property disputes
    • Personal injury cases
    • Indemnity claims
    • Contribution claims
    • Insurance matters
    • Partnership disputes
    • Employment conflicts
