The world of litigation encompasses many areas of life. There is a difference
between what is considered civil and criminal. Criminal law involves a case
being handled by the state, federal, or local government against the other
party for the violation. An example of a civil litigation case would be when a
contractor fails to complete a job or performs poor work. It has cost you money,
damaged your home, and you now have to pay another contractor to have the
job done correctly. The money, time, and stress this has cost you is now owed
​​to you in damages.


The parties in a General Civil Litigation Trial will be seeking for monetary
compensation for their loss. The presenting party, the plaintiff, is responsible
for bringing the case to the courts and filing the complaint. The other party, the
defendant, has the ability to dispute the claims and present their own version
of the events. The process can last several weeks to even years. It can be
difficult to prove the damages and that is where most cases will fall flat. Don’t
​let your case be stalled or dismissed for a lack of evidence.
