Car Accident Lawsuit Withdrawal

Summary

In California, withdrawing a civil lawsuit involves filing a Request for Dismissal (Form CIV-110) with the court. All parties must agree to the dismissal, and court approval is necessary if the case has progressed significantly. Understanding the difference between civil and criminal cases is crucial, as civil cases focus on compensation for damages, while criminal cases involve law violations. If you need further assistance, consider consulting a local attorney for personalized guidance.
