Civil disputes are disagreements between individuals or organizations that typically involve legal rights and obligations. These disputes can arise from various issues, such as contracts, property ownership, or personal injuries. Unlike criminal cases, which involve the government prosecuting an individual for breaking the law, civil disputes are usually resolved through lawsuits in civil courts. The resolution of civil disputes often involves negotiation, mediation, or litigation. In mediation, a neutral third party helps the disputing parties reach a mutually acceptable agreement. If mediation fails, the case may proceed to court, where a judge or jury will make a binding decision based on the evidence presented.
