Civil liability refers to the legal responsibility of an individual, organization, or entity to compensate for harm or damages caused to another party through wrongful acts or negligence.
Civil liability arises from civil lawsuits where the injured party seeks monetary compensation or other remedies. It encompasses various areas such as personal injury, property damage, or breaches of contract.
The legal system typically addresses civil liability cases through civil litigation, aiming to resolve disputes and ensure fair compensation for the affected parties without involving criminal charges or penalties.
