Civil law governs compensation for injury or financial loss caused by negligence, wrongful acts, or breaches of contract. When one person sues another, it’s known as a civil lawsuit. The two most common types of civil claims are contract claims and tort claims. “Tort” means “wrong” in Latin, and negligence is an “unintentional tort,” meaning the harm caused was not deliberate. To prove negligence in a civil case, three elements must be established: a duty of care, breach of that duty, and damages resulting from the breach. Once negligence is established, the court determines if the injured party should receive compensation, also known as “damages.”
