Civil Lawsuits

Civil lawsuits are legal disputes where one party claims that another party has wronged them, often seeking compensation or specific action. These cases typically involve issues like contracts, property rights, or personal injuries. Unlike criminal cases, which involve government prosecution for offenses against society, civil lawsuits are usually initiated by individuals or organizations. The process generally involves filing a complaint, exchanging information through discovery, and possibly going to trial, where a judge or jury will decide the outcome. Resolution can also occur through settlements before reaching trial, where both parties agree without further legal action.
