To a lawyer, “having a case” means that one has suffered a wrong for which the law provides a remedy , the party at fault is known and can be found to sue, and the time for obtaining a remedy has not expired.
Only a lawyer practicing in the area of law in which you think you “have a case” can properly determine whether or not you have a right to sue someone and what the likelihood of the outcome of a suit might be.
