What is the meaning of 'to be party to a case'?
A party to a case is a person named in a civil case (plaintiff or defendant) or a person named in a criminal case (defendant, witness, officer of the court, etc.). There are lots of details and nuances and slight variations from state to state. A person can be the primary or real or proper party of a lawsuit; that means they are the one being sued or doing the suing. They can also be an indispensable party, an interested party, a necessary party, or a nominal party. These are all degrees of how involved someone is in a case. Let me attempt an example: Tom and Dick used to be friends, but then Tom took up with Dick's old girlfriend Jane. Dick goes to Tom's apartment and punches him on the nose in front of Jane. Harry owns the apartment building. Tom sues Dick. They are the proper parties of the suit. Jane is a witness and might be a necessary party. Harry wants to recoup the cost of a new door (because Dick broke it down) and is an interested party. No guarantees that this is exact or that the terms would be entirely the same in every jurisdiction.

Can you still collect a release from an insurance company after you have won or lost a civil suit against the other party involved in an accident?
What kind of release are you talking about? If you file a claim with your insurance company for Uninsured Motorists Coverage, you are awarding the company with the rights of subrogation. This means that you are giving them your right to sue the other party. If you did not have UM coverage and sued the other party on your own. In both of these cases you are not dealing with the insurance company directly, except if they call you to testify in their subrogation case against the other party.
