How are civil courts and criminal courts different?
The primary distinction between the two is that criminal cases are often pursued by state officials, whereas civil cases are conducted between plaintiffs or private individuals or organizations. The overall processes are also different. In criminal cases, defendants are ultimately found guilty and in civil cases, defendants are ultimately found liable. Criminal and civil cases have various legal ramifications as well. In civil cases, monetary damages or an injunction are frequently awarded. Whereas, in most criminal cases, jail time and sanctions are involved.
Civil law operates on a “preponderance of evidence” standard, as opposed to criminal law’s “beyond a reasonable doubt” level of proof. Additionally, civil law focuses on interpersonal connections among members of a particular community or society, whereas criminal law was created to safeguard the welfare of the state against conduct judged as threatening or detrimental to its general safety.
At the Cochran Firm, we handle BOTH civil and criminal cases. If you are in need of legal representation, call us today at 1-800-THE-FIRM to schedule a free, no-obligation consultation with one of our attorneys.

Q: Can I still pursue compensation if I was partially at fault for my injuries?
A: Fault means that someone was responsible for causing harm -- usually through carelessness that rises to the level of negligence -- and must pay compensation for all injuries and other losses stemming from that harm. If a personal injury lawsuit goes to court, the result can be a civil jury award in the hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars.
Sometimes not just one person is at fault. You may have been negligent, and someone else may also have been negligent, making both of you at fault.
In shared fault situations in a personal injury case, every state follows some variation of one of two legal rules: comparative negligence or contributory negligence.

On this day in 1963, over 250,000 people gathered in our nation’s capital for the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom to support the civil and economic rights of African Americans, Latinos, and other disenfranchised groups. Led by civil rights activists, A. Philip Randolph and Bayard Rustin, the march featured a list of speakers, including Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. His ‘I Have a Dream’ speech has become one of the most famous moments in history. Today, we remember his words, reflect on the progress we have made, and continue the fight to seek justice for all!

Brain injuries are among the most devastating and debilitating injuries people may experience. They can disrupt children’s development and severely impair a person’s quality of life. In many cases, brain injuries can be fatal. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that, in 2021, 190 people in the U.S. died per day because of brain injuries and related conditions.
A person who has suffered a brain injury may be able to assert a claim for damages against the person who is legally at fault. The circumstances of the accident and the laws of the person’s state will determine what damages they may recover. State laws establish rules for when a person is liable for injuries to another person. This may occur when the person has intentionally caused someone harm, or when they have acted negligently or without reasonable care. Legal rights and protections for brain injury victims include negligence, intentional torts, medical malpractice, premises liability, and products liability. To learn more about brain injury causes, symptoms, legal rights, and more read our latest article at https://tinyurl.com/4re4dxw5!
