Form Pld Pi 002 PDF Details

The PLD-PI-002 form, a crucial document for those involved in legal disputes related to personal injury, property damage, or wrongful death within the California judicial system, helps facilitate the filing of cross-complaints. Designed to streamline the process of alleging causes of action against other parties, this form encompasses a range of potential claims, from apportionment of fault to indemnification and declaratory relief among others. The form allows for differentiation between limited and unlimited civil cases, distinguishing between disputes over or under $25,000, and includes sections for detailing the identities and roles of cross-complainants and cross-defendants, whether individuals or entities. It also addresses jurisdictional aspects, necessary compliance with claims statutes, and outlines various causes of action in a structured manner to ensure clarity and adherence to legal standards. Moreover, the PLD-PI-002 anticipates the need for detailed explanations, offering space to specify the capacities in which parties are sued, the basis for claims of indemnity or apportionment of fault, and the nature of any requested declaratory relief. This meticulous organization underscores the form's utility in advocating for equitable resolutions, enabling filers to assert their position effectively within the legal landscape.

(NUMBER)

a.Cross-defendants were the agents, employees, co-venturers, partners, or in some manner agents or principals, or both, for each other and were acting within the course and scope of their agency or employment.

c.If I am found in some manner responsible to plaintiff or to anyone else as a result of the incidents and occurrences described in plaintiff's complaint, my liability would be based solely upon a derivative form of liability not resulting from my conduct, but only from an obligation imposed upon me by law; therefore, I would be entitled to complete indemnity from each cross-defendant.
