Civil Litigation
Civil litigation occurs when a party believes that they have been wronged by another and chooses to pursue legal action against the transgressor. It is separate from criminal law, where the government is the party pursuing the legal action. Civil litigation can lead to monetary awards against the losing side but not prison time, which is reserved for criminal matters.
Some common areas that often involve civil litigation include:
- Personal injury cases
- Car accidents
- Dog bites
- Slip and fall accidents
- Medical malpractice
- Breach of contract
