Summary/Abstract: Civil liability includes all the rules of civil law under which the obligation is established to repair the damage caused by unlawful conduct by its author and by those liable together with him, as well as the circumstances in which it occurs. Civil liability is not based solely on committing unlawful acts (civil liability in tort), but it also occurs when a contractual obligation was not performed or it was improperly performed, a case in which the contractor shall be responsible under the terms and conditions established by the contract. Therefore, the types of civil liability are tort liability and contractual liability.Civil liability presupposes a loss generating behavior. This broad definition allows covering under the area of civil liability both the liability arising from committing an unlawful act called civil liability in tort and the liability arising from the wrongful non performance or improper performance of an obligation established by contract, known as contractual liability.
