Answer:

criminal case: have to serve jail time

civil cases: disagreements over contracts and torts are the most common types of cases

both: if there is any guilt, the loser may be required to pay money or the government may be a party to the dispute

Explanation:

Civil case or litigation begins when a person or organization (such as a company or government) named by the claimant claims that another person or organization (respondent) has not fulfilled the legal obligation of the claimant. Both the plaintiff and the respondent are called "parties" or "plaintiffs". The plaintiff may ask the court to discharge his duty to the defendant or to pay damages or both. Legal duties include respect for the rights enshrined in the constitution or federal or state law. Civil cases are heard in both state and federal courts. An example of a civil lawsuit in one state court is that a citizen (including a company) may sue another citizen for failure to comply with the contract.

Criminal case. A person accused of committing a crime is often charged with an act of indictment (for serious crimes or serious crimes) or an official charge called an official (charges). The government will sue on behalf of the public if a person is charged with federal crime. An agent of a state is prosecuting state crimes. The initiation of a criminal case is not the responsibility of the victim. For example, in the case of kidnapping, the government will be prosecuted for kidnapping and the victim will not participate in the action. In some criminal cases, there may be no specific victim. For example, state governments arrest and prosecute people accused of drunk driving violations because society views it as a grave crime that can harm others.
