The person bringing the claim is commonly referred to as the plaintiff.  The person who is sued is known as the defendant.  Each side is entitled to learn what evidence the other side has regarding issues of liability and damages.  This process preceding trial is called "discovery". It allows both sides to adequately prepare for trial.  Every state has its own set of rules regarding discovery, but you will find some common examples below.
