Can you file criminal charges against someone after your civil case against them is completed?
No. Only the state can file and prosecute criminal charges. You can report the crime to the authorities at any time. If you have gone so far as to begin litigating civilly, it is doubtful that the crime has not been reported yet. Actually, this answer is not fully correct, at least for the state of Michigan, the Michigan Constitution Article 6, section 24, clearly says; "any suitor in any court of this state shall have the right to prosecute or defend his suit, either in his own proper person, or by an attorney or agent of his choice." That being said, it is extremely rare that this is ever done, and usually the prosecutors office takes the case if they feel it has merit. Also, it's usually done the other way around, for example, in the O.J. Simmons case, the family of the victim filed civilly and won after O.J. was aquitted on the criminal charges.

Victims may also seek restitution or civil remedies separately from the criminal proceedings.
