What is Civil Litigation?

There are two types of court cases in North Carolina: civil cases and criminal cases. Criminal cases involve the prosecution of someone by the state for the commission of a crime. In civil cases, private parties sue each other to obtain court-awarded relief, often in monetary damages.

Can you help me with my civil case?

Yes. If you believe that’ve suffered some loss, whether physical, financial, or emotional, for which you are entitled to compensation, or if someone has sued you for such compensation, you need a litigation attorney.

What types of cases are civil cases?

Cases in this category run the gamut from arguments about the performance or non-performance of a contract obligation to auto-wreck cases, to divorce or child-custody disputes, etc. All of those things fall under the umbrella of “civil litigation.”

Should I sue?

Depending on the circumstances, you should consider hiring a lawyer to explore a potential lawsuit. Few people want to take someone else to court. Sometimes, however, it’s necessary to protect your rights and interests. The lawyers at Weaver, Bennett and Bland can help you determine whether and when you ought to take the step of initiating a lawsuit. Our attorneys have experience giving guidance in a wide range of civil practice areas, including:

  • Personal injury matters, such as automobile wrecks, slip and falls, medical malpractice, defective and dangerous products, and all manners of insurance litigation.
  • Collection of business debts.
  • Consumer claims against the sellers of products for fraud and unfair & deceptive sales practices.
  • A person injured in a motor vehicle wreck, slip and fall, as a result of a dangerous or defective product, or as the result of some other negligent or willful conduct and cannot obtain a fair offer from the responsible insurance company or self-insured defendant.
