Can Someone Bring a Civil Claim If There Is Also a Criminal Case?

Straight answers from The Law Offices of Joumana Kayrouz.

Potentially. Criminal and civil cases are separate legal proceedings with different purposes and standards.

A prosecutor controls a criminal prosecution. An injured person may separately have civil claims against one or more responsible parties.

Whether a civil claim exists depends on the circumstances. A lawyer can evaluate how a criminal investigation or prosecution may affect that claim.
