What Is a Civil Litigation Attorney?
The concept of a civil litigation attorney comes from English Common Law and was later brought over and adopted in the United States. A civil litigation attorney is a lawyer who represents a party in matters such as personal injury, landlord/tenant disputes, motor vehicle accidents, negligence, contract or products liability. Civil litigation occurs when a party is seeking to recover money damages or specific performance from another party. A civil litigation attorney can help a person recover injuries caused by another party, and he can be a useful resource for anyone looking to recover capital or place an injunction on another party. Many civil litigation attorneys specialize in certain areas, such as contractual law, personal injury or class action lawsuits.
