Liens can be placed against any real property owned by the person being sued. A forced sale of property seldom happens, with the exception of secured lender foreclosure. Unsecured creditors prefer ganishment or levy procedures, as they are the least complicated legally and therefore easiest to enforce. And all states have homestead exemptions which can be used to protect the person's primary residence. Consult the bankruptcy exemptions for your state of residency, these exemptions also apply to judgments from lawsuits.

Do civil action lawsuit proceeds have to be claimed on income tax?

Depends on what the recovery or award was for. General guideliens are if it stated as for replacing property you lost, putting you back where you were (say damamges to your car), it is NOT taxable (presuming you have not taken the amount of that loss as a casulty deduction previously). If it replaces lost income, from work or say rental property (which would have been taxable if you had received it normally), or is punitive in nature, it's taxable. (Although some of the costs of recovery may be deductible).

Can you lose your home in a lawsuit in the state of Florida?

If you've lost a civil suit or claim of restitution, the winning party may apply what is known as a lien against your property. This means that until they're paid in full they own the house in which you're living in. If you default on the judgement, they may pursue a civil forfeiture case that allows them to seize your home. However, many courts will not grant this type of lien unless the judgement you owe exceeds your wages and other liquid assets.
