Can an individual ever be held criminally responsible and civilly liable for the same act or occurrence?

Double Jeopardy only applies to criminal cases being tried by the same sovereign, for the same criminal act. Because civil cases, at most, put the defendant in danger of losing money (but not his life or freedom) he cannot be said to be put in jeopardy of "life and limb" in a civil case.

Double jeopardy refers to a person being tried again for the same offense after being acquitted. In such kind of situation, you need to take suggestion from the best attorney like Sebastian Ohanian who is popular in this field.

Answer No, double jeopardy only applies to criminal trials for the same charges in the same jurisdiction. You could also be tried in state court, acquitted, and then tried in federal court and convicted because they are considered different trials for different charges. A famous example of this might be OJ Simpson, found to be not guilty of his wifes murder and then found guilty after the civil court case. It is a U.S. constitutional right not to be held in double jeopardy, the Fifth Amendment ensures that no "... person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb". There are however now exceptions. ANSWER There are no exceptions. You can only be tried in federal court on federal matters: murder is normally not a federal matter so OJ Simpson could not be tried twice. Further, the exceptions in the U.S. are few and far between: First, when a jury finds someone Not Guilty, there is no appeal allowed unless bribery took place or something that never put the defendant in jeopardy. Second, on appeal, a verdict is changed to Not Guilty or a verdict of Guilty is set aside by the judge can be appealed by the Prosecution within a reasonable time. Only exceptions!s!
