Civil vs. Criminal Lawsuits

Civil litigation involves a legal dispute between two or more individuals or entities that does not involve criminal charges. In a civil lawsuit, the plaintiff generally is attempting to secure monetary compensation or other damages based on the alleged action or inaction of the defendant.

Here are just a few common types of civil litigation lawsuits:

  • Personal injury/wrongful death
  • Breach of contract
  • Corporate and partnership disputes
  • Property & intellectual property disputes
  • Worker's compensation
  • Medical malpractice
  • Requests for court injunction

Contrary to what you might see on television, most civil litigation cases never make it to the courtroom. Instead, the parties agree to a settlement through mediation, arbitration, or another form of dispute resolution.
