Is this helpful?\n\n"A cause of action 'accrues' when a suit may be maintained thereon, and the law in this regard differs from state-to-state and by nature of action (e.g., type of breach of contract, tort, etc.).  The point in time at which a cause of action 'accrues' is important for the purposes of running of statute of limitations."

There is no specific definition. It is merely an act that is done wrongfully, usually meaning it is against the law, but sometimes just that it was done negligently.

A criminal case involves a crime, which implies that the person has harmed the public by their action, and deserve some sort of punishment, usually prison time, but sometimes just a fine. In a civil trial, the question is only whether or not an individual was harmed by the person's actions, and the only restitution is financial.

If there was a lawsuit won against the company for damages then the liablity is "Limited" to the assets of the company, not the assets of the owners of that company, that is the main difference, there are also different regulations regarding the reporting of accounts etc.

legally, you can only sue those who can understand laws.  Meaning you cannot sue an animal, but the owner of the animal for ignorance, neglect, etc.\nAn animal cannot understand right and wrong, not to say they don't know how to behave.  But this is the owner's doing and so the owner gets the consequences...where did you come up with suing an animal?
