Civil Cases vs. Criminal Cases Overview
Civil cases involve disputes between private parties or entities seeking compensation or resolution of a private matter. These cases address issues like contractual disputes, personal injury, or property disputes. The goal is typically to obtain a judgment for damages or specific performance.
Criminal cases, on the other hand, involve offenses against the state or public. Prosecuted by the government, criminal cases aim to establish guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Penalties may include fines, probation, or imprisonment. Distinct in purpose, civil cases address private wrongs, while criminal cases address offenses against society.
