What is a civil case?
Civil cases are initiated when a wronged party, the plaintiff, files a complaint with the court of appropriate jurisdiction. The delivery of this complaint against named wrong doers, known as defendants, is the action known as filing a lawsuit or bringing suit. While civil cases may involve criminal actions, these trials are completely separate from the proceedings of a criminal trial. Additionally, civil cases include disputes, disagreements, and grievances a plaintiff feels cannot be resolved sufficiently with defendants without court intervention.

What are the possible outcomes of a civil case?
In all civil cases, plaintiffs will be seeking remedy from a defendant or defendants. Remedy will often come in the form of a court mandated judgment that attempts to rectify, through judicial ruling, the outcome of a dispute. Additionally, remedy can be achieved in civil cases through settlement, which may be provoked in light of the costs and potential losses stemming from an impending civil trial. Remedies sought by plaintiffs in a civil case may take a number of forms including:
- Settlement
- Damages
- Injunction
- Declaratory Judgment
