Criminal negligence is an act of negligence that results in a crime-such as involuntary manslaughter which are tried in a criminal court. Tort negligence is negligence thought of as a "civil wrongdoing" which is addressed in civil courts.
A civil wrong is when one person is accused of wronging another person. For example, breaking a contract or crashing into your car. Penal liability refers to criminal wrongs, where a person is accused of wronging society.

The term "civil liability" means that another person or a business can sue you and end up being awarded damages by the courts. Civil liability is distinguished from Criminal liability.

Guilty and Liable both mean that you are responsible by law. However, you are "liable" in civil cases and determined "guilty" in criminal cases. There is also a difference between state (liable) and federal (guilty).
A civil suit is one between two private parties where they have a disagreement or damages. A criminal act is a suit between the government and an accused that violates a law.

A civil subpoena is issued in civil cases, such as disputes between individuals or organizations, to compel the production of documents or testimony.

Civil is like when your neighbor complains that you make too much noise. It can be a lawsuit too. Criminal is when you have broken the law. A criminal act has been committed.
