civil suits

A civil suit is a legal case where one person or entity (the plaintiff) seeks to resolve a dispute with another (the defendant), typically over issues like money, property, or personal rights. Unlike criminal cases, civil suits do not involve punishment but seek to compensate or resolve disagreements through damages or specific actions. The process involves filing a complaint, evidence presentation, and a judgment. Civil suits can involve disputes such as contract disagreements, property disputes, or personal injury claims, and are decided based on a "preponderance of the evidence" rather than beyond a reasonable doubt.
