Can a settlement in a Civil Action prevent you from making a Criminal Complaint?

Yes, a settlement in a civil action can coexist with a criminal complaint, but it does not prevent you from pursuing criminal charges. Civil settlements typically address disputes between parties, often involving financial compensation, while criminal complaints involve violations of law that are prosecuted by the state. However, a civil settlement may influence the criminal process, as it could be viewed as an indication of liability or provide evidence in a criminal case, but it does not eliminate the right to pursue criminal charges.
