Common Types of Civil Litigation

There are numerous types of legal disputes that can be resolved through civil actions. Some of the most common include:

• Contract Disputes: Disputes involving real estate contracts; construction contracts; partnership and shareholder agreements; non-disclosure (NDA), non-compete, and non-solicitation agreements, and franchise agreements.
• Personal Injury: Motor vehicle accident injuries, slips and falls, dog bites, construction injuries, medical malpractice, nursing home injuries, products liability, and wrongful death.
• Divorce and Family Law Cases: Disputes over divorce and family-related issues such as allocation of parental responsibility (child custody), child support, spousal support, division of assets, parent and child relocations, and many others.

Damages in civil litigation actions are typically monetary, but the plaintiff may also request that the court compel the defendant to take (or refrain from taking) a certain action. This is known as an injunction. Monetary damages in civil cases may include:

• Compensatory: Damages for property repair, medical expenses, lost wages, and other actual losses.
• General: Damages that do not compensate for a direct financial loss. Examples include pain and suffering, mental anguish, loss of consortium, and lost future earnings.
• Punitive: In some extreme cases wherein the conduct of the defendant was particularly egregious, the court may award punitive damages, which are designed to punish the defendant and help ensure this conduct is not repeated.
