What are the types of civil litigation cases?

Civil litigation cases are disputes between two or more parties that are resolved in a court of law. In New Mexico, the two main types of civil litigation cases are contract disputes and tort cases. Contract disputes involve two or more parties that have a contractual obligation, or agreement, to each other. This contract can be written or verbal. This type of case can arise when one party fails to fulfill their obligations, whether it be to provide a service, pay money, or deliver goods. This type of case is usually started when the wronged party files a lawsuit against the other party. Tort cases are civil cases that involve harm done to another person or property. These cases can involve injury to a person, an invasion of privacy, or the destruction of personal property. In New Mexico, a successful tort case can result in the wrongdoer being ordered to pay certain damages to the injured party. Other types of civil litigation cases include property cases such as boundary disputes, inheritance disputes, and disputes involving homeowners’ associations. There are also business disputes such as breach of fiduciary duty or breach of contract. Civil litigation cases can also involve disputes between employers and employees such as wrongful termination or unpaid wages. Finally, there are cases involving family law such as divorce, alimony, child support, and child custody.
