Civil litigation is the process by which a party files a lawsuit against another party seeking monetary damages. Civil cases are typically heard in state or federal courts, but they can also be filed in local courts if necessary. The purpose of civil lawsuits is to resolve disputes between people and businesses–especially those that involve monetary damages.
What is civil litigation?
Civil litigation is a process by which disputes are resolved in court. The parties to the dispute may be individuals, corporations, or other legal entities (like government agencies).
Civil litigation does not involve criminal charges or family law issues. Instead, civil cases are usually brought against companies and businesses for their actions related to contracts and business practices.
Civil litigation can be filed in state or federal court.
A civil lawsuit is a lawsuit in which a party seeks damages or other relief, usually by filing a complaint. The parties to the action may be either private individuals or government entities such as cities and counties.
The first stage of most civil cases is called “procedural” or “legal.” In this stage, the parties must agree on how they will proceed with their case before any legal action can take place. They also have to determine whether there are any grounds for pursuing an action against another party and if so, whether that person should be sued at all.
Once these issues have been resolved through negotiation between parties involved in litigation (or arbitration), it becomes possible for them to file formal complaints against each other with one court system or another depending on where they live—state courts versus federal courts being among them—and proceed from there using different procedures depending on what type of claim has been made against another individual(s).
Whether you are a plaintiff or defendant, it is important to know the rights and responsibilities of each side in a case.
As a plaintiff, you have the right to be heard in court and have your case heard on its merits. If you are successful in court, your case will become final and binding on all parties involved.
As a defendant, you also have many rights that must be respected by everyone involved in a legal dispute:
- The right to hire an attorney (or if unable to afford one)
- The right to present evidence and witnesses at trial; cross-examine opposing parties’ witnesses; testify on your behalf if called upon by the judge or prosecutor

In a civil case, one party sues another for monetary damages.
In a civil case, one party sues another for monetary damages. The plaintiff files a lawsuit against the defendant to recover monetary compensation from that party. The defendant may file an answer to this lawsuit with their arguments as to why they should not be held liable for damages.
In some cases, there is no dispute between the parties and they can settle out of court; however, most lawsuits go through a trial where both sides present their evidence and arguments before a judge or jury (depending on how serious the case is).

For example, if you were injured in a car accident and found that your medical bills were covered by your insurance policy, you could file a personal injury lawsuit against the driver of the other car.
