This brings up another question. "What is civil liability"? Is it only monetary damages? Could you be sued for something other than "civil liability"?
I'm not sure what you're asking. You could for example be sued for divorce, or the plaintiff could seek an injunction (e.g. TRO, gag order) rather than money.
I am not sure what I'm asking either. :mrgreen:

Restricting this to the OP about the Castle Doctrine, could the person "win" something in a lawsuit other than monetary damages? Maybe like a "gag order" that says the home owner couldn't say anything bad about the guy he shot?

I believe that this explains the law:
Charles L. Cotton wrote:There was a lot of misunderstanding about the civil liability protection afforded by the "Castle Doctrine" bill when it passed. Many people thought it prevents someone from being sued, but it does not. No law can be written denying people access to the courts; it would be unconstitutional. The "Castle Doctrine" grants immunity from civil liability, not immunity from suit. You can still be sued, but you will win and probably win early in the case. Chas
