    Default Target Civil Liability

    I received a letter in the mail today from Target regarding my shoplifting at their store. They're demanding nearly $800 in civil liability. This is much more than 3 TIMES the amount i'm accused of shoplifting. I was wondering if the law has a limit as to how much a store can demand in civil liability. I'm in WV.

    My trail won't be for another month. I was also wondering if the lawyers and judge would consider the amount of the civil liability before imposing their own sentence (fines).

    Thanks.

    The two are unrelated to each other. Your court case is criminal and Civil Demand is Civil. If restitution is order then the Civil Demand amount may come into play. However if you want to argue the Civil Demand amount then hire an Attorney
