yes, there is a liability of an accomplice per se in civil law. The liability in civil law of a person helping or aiding/abetting another person in committing a civil wrong is either jointly or severally depending on the facts of the case as well as the manner of the civil action brought by the party suffering the wromg. For example, the party aiding and abetting can be sued as an agent and the primary peron or persons by whom the wrong is intended or directed to be performed can be sued as  a principal depending on the nature of the wrong committed.
