Question: 1 / 400

A _______________ is a person who brings a civil action against another.

Defendant

Plaintiff

A plaintiff is the individual who initiates a lawsuit or brings a civil action against another person. This is typically done in order to seek damages, compensation, or some sort of remedy for a perceived wrongdoing. The other options are incorrect for the following reasons

- A defendant is the person being sued or accused in a legal proceeding and is not the same as a plaintiff.

- A prosecutor is a government official who brings criminal charges against a defendant in a criminal case, not a civil case.

- A litigant refers to any party involved in a legal dispute, including both plaintiffs and defendants, so it is a more general term and is not synonymous with a plaintiff.
