WHAT IS CIVIL LAW?
Civil law concerns legal disputes that arise between two or more parties. These disputes are not criminal in nature, and the parties can be both corporations or individuals. Typically, the suing party, or the Plaintiff, seeks some damages from the other party, also known as the Defendant. The damages are seen as compensation for the loss the Plaintiff might have suffered.
Civil litigation has various facets, and cases don't always go to court. The parties might employ mediation and arbitration to reach an outcome before the case goes to trial.
CIVIL LAW CASES EXPLAINED
A civil case exists when one party fails in their duties towards another party. There are three main types of civil litigation. They can be classified as:
This area covers the legal disputes arising from property transactions. Two aggrieved parties contest their claim to property or legally address concerns over other property-related matters.
This occurs when one or both parties have been accused of breaching the terms of a contract. In most cases, one party would owe reparations to the other based on a court ruling or out-of-court settlement.
The concept of tort law addresses the wrongdoing of an individual and directs the wrongdoer to provide relief in terms of monetary compensation. Personal injury claims fall under this category.
WHY HIRE A CIVIL LITIGATION LAWYER?
It is advisable not to proceed with a civil litigation dispute without enlisting the right type of support. There are many reasons to hire a civil litigation lawyer, such as:
-
Case assessment: A lawyer will take a cold, hard look at your case and determine the best possible course of action. You will get a clearer picture so that you can make an informed decision.
-
Paperwork: Civil litigation disputes demand tedious paperwork. A lawyer will take care of all of your documentation and ensure that it is in order. With their support, legal jargon will be made easier for you to understand.
-
Protection from incrimination: Without a lawyer by your side, you might accidentally disclose self-incriminating information. It is best to let an experienced lawyer speak on your behalf.
-
Experience: Seasoned lawyers like us have supported countless clients through their civil litigation cases. They're deeply acquainted with the legal process and know what it takes to win your case.
-
Mediation: A civil litigation case doesn't always have to go to court. Lawyers possess negotiation skills that can enable them to reach a favourable settlement without going to trial.
