In a tort case, the alleged wrongdoer is not tried by the government, but rather by the individual (or entity) who has been wronged. The victim is indeed a party to the case, often seeking compensation for injuries or damages directly from the wrongdoer, which contrasts with criminal cases where the government prosecutes the wrongdoer, and the victim may serve primarily as a witness.
