I am pressing criminal charges against a person. Can I also file a civil lawsuit?

While criminal and civil legal matters are handled in distinctly separate ways, there are some instances when it is appropriate for a victim of negligence, recklessness, or violence to pursue the issue in both arenas. Typically this is the case with so-called “intentional torts.” Assault, homicide, reckless indifference to human life, and other egregious acts may qualify.

If you believe that you may be entitled to financial compensation in addition to the penal justice that you are seeking then we may be able to help. Contact a Delaware personal injury lawyer at Morris James LLP, at 302-888-6800.
