Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Civil law deals with wrongs against individuals or companies that results in damages or loss. A civil lawsuit would result in financial restitution and/or community service instead of a jail sentence. When someone sues another person in civil court, the jury decides upon liability instead of innocence or guild. It the jury determines that the defendant is liable for the act, the jury decides upon the punitive damage of the case.
