- Civil Liability/ Litigation
- As used in the term “civil liability,” the word liability means responsibility for the harm alleged by the plaintiff and the damages suffered. A person found liable in a civil action, upon a verdict in favor of the plaintiff, must pay whatever monetary damages the jury (or sometimes the judge) awards to the plaintiff.
- A civil action is a lawsuit filed by a private person (not the government) against another private person. Usually these lawsuits seek monetary damages for injury or loss that the party suing (the plaintiff) alleges the party sued (the defendant) caused. A defendant who loses in a civil action does not face the risk of prison or fines.
- A classic civil lawsuit would be a lawsuit by a homeowner against his neighbor, seeking damages (money) for the damage of his car due to the neighbor’s falling tree.

A case can be resolved by proceeding to trial before a judge or jury or through an agreement between the parties, called a settlement. The best approach to any case depends on the specifics of the case, the goals of the party and a variety of other factors.
In recent years, mediation has become a popular option for resolving claims. Mediation assists the parties in reaching a settlement, generally with far less stress and less expense than a trial. An experienced attorney can help determine which approach is best for you and your case.
