Generally, a civil claim is a court procedure for working out a disagreement between two people,businesses or organizations. The disagreement usually involves one person believing that he or she has been hurt, had their rights violated or property damaged by another person.
A civil case is not a criminal case.

A civil claim is an action brought in the County Court (or possibly in the High Court) with a view to obtaining redress from the other party by way of damages or compensation for some deliberate or negligent act which does not amount to a crime. It is, basically, all about money.

A civil claim or civil suit is a law suit that seek money from a defendant rather then putting them in jail.
For example the women that went to McDonald's drive through and she was holding a cup of hot coffee in her lap and it spilled on her so she sued them for 3 million dollars.
That is a civil suit.
