South Carolina Cross-Claim is a type of civil action that is filed when two or more parties involved in a lawsuit have claims against each other. This is often used when two parties are suing each other, but both have grounds for a counterclaim. Cross-Claims are used to streamline the lawsuit and reduce the costs by having all claims heard in one action. The types of South Carolina Cross-Claims typically include: Contractual Cross-Claims, Tort Cross-Claims, Breach of Warranty Cross-Claims, and Declaratory Judgment Cross-Claims. Contractual Cross-Claims involve an agreement between two parties that has been breached, while Tort Cross-Claims involve negligence or harm caused by one party to another. Breach of Warranty Cross-Claims involve a breach of a warranty agreement between two parties, and Declaratory Judgment Cross-Claims involve a party seeking a judgment to declare their legal rights in a dispute.
