Civil Litigation Attorney in California Central Valley

Civil Litigation

Civil Litigation is a legal dispute between two or more parties seeking money damages or specific performance, as opposed to criminal sanctions. An attorney who practices in Civil Litigation is generally referred to as a “litigator” or “trial lawyer”. Civil Litigation encompasses a broad range of disputes, including:

  • General Civil Litigation
  • Breach of Contract
  • Business Contract Disputes
  • Construction Litigation
  • Administrative Law
  • Homeowners Association (HOA)
  • Torts

For a better understanding of Civil Litigation, the practice may be divided into different stages, including Investigation, Pleadings, Discovery, Pretrial, Trial, Settlement and Appeal. However, not every case will pass through each of these stages. In fact, many lawsuits are settled prior to trial. In addition, many cases that receive a trial verdict are not appealed.

Torts

The primary aims of tort law are to provide relief to injured parties for harms caused by others, to impose liability on parties responsible for the harm, and to deter others from committing harmful acts. Torts can shift the burden of loss from the injured party to the party who is at fault or better suited to bear the burden of the loss. Typically, a party seeking redress through tort law will ask for damages in the form of monetary compensation. Less common remedies include injunction and restitution.
