The Fifth Amendment says that the accused "shall [not] be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself." This has been extended to allow someone to refuse to answer incriminating questions in any court proceeding. However, the questions must be incriminating. The Fifth Amendment does not provide any protection if you simply do not want to testify, or if testifying would incriminate a friend or family member. You can still be held in contempt and jailed for refusing to testify in those situations.
The Fifth Amendment to the US Constitution protects the individual against self-incrimination. The government cannot force you to testify against yourself in any case for which you might be criminally charged.
Taking the Fifth Amendment in a civil case allows a person to avoid self-incrimination by refusing to answer questions that may reveal potentially damaging information. This right protects individuals from being forced to testify against themselves in a legal proceeding.
