Understanding Civil Litigation In Nevada

What Is Civil Litigation?

Civil litigation deals with non-criminal disputes that can have major financial impacts on those involved. While no one faces jail time, the stakes are high because one party is seeking financial compensation from another.

Civil cases are structured like criminal trials, but the standard of proof is lower—winning requires presenting stronger evidence, not proving the case beyond a reasonable doubt. This distinction allows parties to pursue justice in cases where monetary compensation can resolve the dispute.

Common Types Of Civil Litigation Cases

Civil litigation encompasses a wide variety of categories, so it tends to cover a lot of ground. However, most attorneys only specialize in one or two areas of practice. We specialize in business law, but the following are some of the other disputes that fall under the civil litigation umbrella:

Specializations In Civil Litigation

• Personal Injury Claims

• Product Liability Claims

• Workers Compensation Claims

• Landlord/Tenant Disputes

• Medical Malpractice Claims

• Divorce Lawsuits

These are some of the most common areas, and each requires a thorough understanding of both legal principles and the specific challenges within that field.

The Civil Litigation Process: What To Expect

A civil litigation case typically moves through a series of key stages, each designed to examine and prepare the case for a potential resolution. While not all cases reach every stage, understanding the overall process can help clients know what to expect.

Key Stages Of A Civil Litigation Case

• Investigation – The attorney gathers evidence to determine the strength of the claim.

• Pleadings – Formal documents are filed with the court on behalf of the client.

• Discovery – Attorneys from both sides exchange information and evidence to build their cases.

• Mediation – A neutral third party attempts to reach a resolution before trial, saving time and costs.

• Trial – If mediation fails, the case is argued before a judge or jury.

• Appeal – If the trial outcome is unfavorable, an appeal may be pursued.

Most civil lawsuits are resolved before reaching trial, often concluding during mediation.
