I don’t know anything about civil suits, but from the outside looking in it seems like it’s very easy for defendants to dodge, delay, withhold payment, hide assets, etc. When a judgement is handed down, how is it enforced? And how often, if ever, are assets seized/frozen?
In: Other
If the defendant has insurance coverage, and there is no appeal, insurance companies will generally pay after judgment without undue delay. When any defendant refuses to pay, the court can order seizure of non exempt assets like property, cars, bank accounts, stocks, etc.
