Civil law is a broad area of law that deals with resolving disputes between individuals, businesses, and other entities. Unlike criminal law, which focuses on crimes and punishment, civil law is concerned with protecting the rights, property, and interests of those involved.
Led by attorney Matt Zimmerman, Blizzard and Zimmerman Attorneys provide dedicated civil law services to help our clients navigate disputes, protect their rights, and achieve fair resolutions. Matt has extensive jury trial experience as well and brings his unique skills to our civil cases.
What is Civil Law?
Civil law governs non-criminal disputes, involving matters where individuals or organizations seek compensation, injunctions, or other forms of relief. This area of law covers a wide range of issues that impact daily life, business, and personal relationships, including:
Family-Related Civil Matters – This can include issues like guardianship, conservatorship, or disputes over estates and trusts, probate and estate planning as well.
Breach of Contract – Cases where one party fails to fulfill their contractual obligations, potentially causing financial harm to the other party.
Property Disputes – These involve conflicts over property boundaries, ownership rights, or damages to property.
Personal Injury – Cases where an individual has been harmed due to another’s negligence, whether through injury accidents, medical malpractice, or other wrongful actions.
Business Disputes – Disputes among partners, shareholders, or between businesses, such as disagreements over intellectual property, contracts, or competition.
What Can Civil Law Be Used For?
Civil law serves as a mechanism for individuals and businesses to resolve disputes fairly and without resorting to criminal courts. Common objectives in civil law cases include:
Financial Compensation – For damages or losses suffered due to negligence, breach of contract, or other wrongful acts.
Injunctions and Orders – To prevent a party from continuing harmful actions, such as infringing on intellectual property or breaching contractual agreements.
Declaratory Judgments – To clarify the legal rights and obligations of the parties involved in a dispute.
