Can a bench warrant be issued for failure to appear in court for a civil case where the summons was sent in the mail but never personally served on the defendant?

A bench warrant will not issue in a civil action for failure to appear on a summons. At best, the party who fails to appear will have a judgment entered against him/her whether it was served by mail or not. Failure to answer a summons is simply tantamount to admitting the allegations in the complaint are true and judgment should be entered as requested.

What to do when you get a civil summons?

You cannot be arrested for a civil infraction. The judgment means they can attempt to collect the amount. In some cases they may attempt to take property to sell to get their money. You need to see if there is a way to work out a payment plan. As long as you show you are making an effort, even making small payments, and are destitute, there isn't going to be much they can do.
