What type of law provides remedies and compensation for civil injuries?

Civil law is the area of law that addresses the rights and duties of individuals and organizations, providing remedies and compensation for civil injuries. These injuries can include personal harm, property damage, and breaches of contract. Civil law is focused on resolving disputes between private parties and ensuring that victims receive compensation for their losses or injuries, often through monetary damages. It encompasses a wide range of issues including torts, contracts, family law, and property law.

In contrast, criminal law deals with offenses against the state or society, where the government prosecutes individuals for actions deemed harmful to the public. Common law refers to law developed by judges through court decisions and precedents rather than legislative statutes, while statutory law consists of laws enacted by legislatures. While all these branches of law play important roles in the legal system, only civil law is specifically dedicated to providing remedies and compensation for civil injuries.
