None. Civil law is civil law. Criminal law is criminal law. They do not intersect.

Some crimes have civil and criminal punishments though. A very common example is assault, which is a criminal charge. You can also be held liable under civil law for battery.

Other examples are as follows:

Copyright infringement laws: If you illegally reproduce copyrighted materials, you can be charged under criminal law (not necessarily imprisonment, but a sentence under criminal law). The company who owns the copyright may also sue you in civil court.

Drunk driving: If you drive drunk and hit a person, they sue you (civil law), and you will receive DUI charges.
