Frequently asked questions

Q

What's the difference between trespass and nuisance claims?

A

Trespass involves unauthorized physical entry onto property and protects possessory rights, while nuisance addresses conduct that substantially interferes with use and enjoyment of property without necessarily requiring physical entry. Both claims can arise from the same facts and are often pleaded together. For example, a neighbor who enters your land without permission commits trespass, while their loud machinery that prevents you from sleeping may constitute nuisance.

Q

What documents do I need to draft a trespass and nuisance complaint?

A

At minimum, you need proof of property ownership or possession (deed, lease, title) and evidence of the trespass or nuisance (photos, videos, correspondence, witness statements). Optional but helpful documents include property surveys, prior warnings to the defendant, damage assessments, repair estimates, and any police reports or code violation notices. The more documentation you provide, the more detailed and compelling your complaint will be.

Q

What types of damages can I request in a trespass and nuisance case?

A

You can request compensatory damages for property damage, diminution in property value, loss of use and enjoyment, restoration costs, and economic losses. Many jurisdictions also allow recovery for emotional distress and discomfort caused by the interference. If the defendant's conduct was willful or malicious, you may seek punitive damages. Injunctive relief is often the primary remedy, requiring the defendant to stop the trespass or abate the nuisance.

Q

How long does it take CaseMark to generate a trespass and nuisance complaint?

A

CaseMark generates a comprehensive, court-ready complaint in approximately 12 minutes after you upload your documents and provide case details. This replaces the typical 4-5 hours attorneys spend manually drafting these complaints. The AI analyzes your evidence, structures the factual allegations, properly pleads both causes of action, and formats all required sections according to civil procedure rules.

Q

Can I request both monetary damages and an injunction?

A

Yes, trespass and nuisance complaints typically request both compensatory damages for past harm and injunctive relief to prevent future interference. The complaint should ask for temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions, and permanent injunctions to stop the defendant's conduct, along with damages for all harm already suffered. CaseMark automatically includes comprehensive relief requests covering both remedies.
