To "sue" someone refers to taking legal action against them to seek justice or compensation for a crime or a wrongdoing. This often refers to taking someone to court and having a trial, and if the suing party wins, they are awarded compensation usually in the form of money. Ex: The company sued them for copyright. Ex: They were sued a thousand dollars for trespassing.
