What is malicious prosecution?
Malicious Prosecution is an intentional tort for damages which occurs when someone is unjustly accused and the following elements must be proven:

• You were the defendant in a prior civil or criminal case that was dismissed in your favor. 
• The person you want to sue caused the original civil or criminal case to be brought or continued.
• There was no probable cause to justify the initial case.
• The initial suit was brought forth with malice or for personal reasons.
• You have incurred suffering or damages at a result of the initial lawsuit.

​
What damages are available to victims of malicious prosecution?
You may be entitled to compensation for:

• Out of pocket expenses including attorney's fees and court costs in the original action
• Job loss
• Emotional distress 
• Mental health treatment and expenses 
• Pain and suffering
• Damages to your reputation
• Humiliation
• ​Punitive damages 

What are examples of  malicious prosecution claims?
