Describe a situation in which criminal and civil law could be used together

to protect a person's rights.

For example, a person intentionally killing another person is a criminal offense. A civil offense, on the other hand, often looks more like someone failing to follow city code-not clearing snow from a sidewalk that results in someone slipping and getting hurt, for example. Failing to shovel, in most cases, doesn't live up to the standard of a criminal act, but it is against the rules and gives the person harmed an avenue for seeking justice for damages.
