Civil Suit

A civil suit is a legal dispute between two or more parties, typically involving private rights and obligations, rather than criminal matters. In a civil suit, one party (the plaintiff) claims that another party (the defendant) has harmed them or violated their rights, seeking a remedy, usually in the form of monetary compensation or specific actions. Civil suits can cover various issues, such as contracts, property disputes, and personal injuries. Unlike criminal cases, which are prosecuted by the state, civil suits are initiated by individuals or entities aiming to resolve their conflicts through the court system.
