Answer:

The way to think about these is to find out what they are. A civil lawsuit involves a dispute between persons or organizations. An example of this, a person was promised something and did not receive it.

Whereas, a criminal case is an action that is deemed harmful to society. An example would be an alleged murder. They go through the indictment (formal accusation) and later to trial with evidence from both the defendant and plaintiff.

A civil lawsuit after a criminal case is where the family of the victim is seeking to restore damages in form of payment. That is the exception to the rule. Therefore, civil and criminal are two separate things, but my diverge in the example above.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer: A civil lawsuit involves legal wrongdoings in which violations are committed against an individual, group of individuals, or an organizations. Civil lawsuits involve breaches of the law that are not criminal acts. Criminal cases are cases involving criminal violations, which can be grouped loosely into the categories of misdemeanor (minor criminal offense) or felony (major criminal offense).
