As phrased, this question does not make much sense.

In a civil case satisfying the jurisdictional requirements of a federal district court, a litigant may sue for an award of money damages which is the usual connotation of "judgment." It makes no difference what the underlying dispute is (arson, breach of contract, personal injury), a money judgment is the most typical object of civil litigation.

"Prayer for judgment" is an increasingly archaic phrase describing how relief requested in a particular lawsuit.
