What does civil liability generally involve?

Civil liability generally involves disputes between two parties that arise from one party's failure to meet a legal duty owed to another. This often leads to a situation where the aggrieved party seeks compensation or remedy for damages incurred as a result of the other party's actions or omissions. Such disputes can involve a range of issues, including personal injury claims, breach of contract, and property damage.

In this context, civil law is primarily concerned with resolving these disputes through compensation, rather than punishment, which is the focus of criminal law. Civil liability does not specifically pertain to governmental regulations or the conduct of public officials unless it directly involves a personal dispute that fits within the civil framework, such as a negligence claim. The emphasis is on establishing responsibility and liability in a civil court rather than addressing violations of criminal statutes.
