A civil complaint is a legal document filed by a plaintiff seeking compensation or remedy for a perceived wrong, typically involving disputes between individuals or organizations, such as contracts or personal injury. In contrast, a criminal complaint is initiated by the government or state, charging an individual with a crime and seeking punishment, such as fines or imprisonment. The burden of proof is on the plaintiff in civil cases (preponderance of evidence), while in criminal cases, it rests on the prosecution (beyond a reasonable doubt). Additionally, civil cases usually result in monetary damages, whereas criminal cases can lead to penalties including jail time.
