Can a person sue for a supposed crime committed against them in a criminal court, but only sue the person for money without demanding they do jail time? For example: Say the defendant was drunk driving and crashed into the other person's vehicle, and now the victim can't work. Can the person harmed sue the drunk driver for his/her crime, but only demand to be financially compensated, and, also, can this take place in a criminal court, or does it have to be civil, because it's about money?

Thanks,

Thanks.
