civil cases

Civil cases are legal disputes between individuals, organizations, or entities over rights, responsibilities, or damages. These cases often involve issues like contracts, property, personal injury, or family matters. The goal is usually to resolve disagreements or seek compensation, rather than punish wrongdoing. The person who brings the case is called the plaintiff, and the person or entity defending against it is the defendant. The court reviews evidence, listens to both sides, and makes a decision called a judgment. Civil cases are private disputes, not criminal offenses, and the outcome typically involves monetary awards or orders to act or refrain from certain actions.
