What damages are compensable?

Compensation is payable for all pecuniary and non-pecuniary damage causally linked to the injury.

Property damages are those damages that have a monetary value. They can be expressed in the costs of medicines, consumables and aids necessary for the treatment and recovery of the injured party, repair of damage, lost profits from the inability to exercise work, etc. Non-property damages represent an adverse impact on the personality, dignity of the injured party and are related to his emotional life. This type of damages covers all physical and mental pain and suffering that the injured party suffers as a result of the injury.

How is the amount of compensation for non-pecuniary damage determined?

Due to their particular nature, non-pecuniary damage cannot be recovered and can only be compensated by money. In this context, fair compensation for all non-pecuniary damage means determining the exact monetary equivalent of the negative emotions and their psychological impact on the injured party. The amount of compensation for non-pecuniary damage is determined by the court in an equitable manner, taking into account a number of specific facts. Such objective circumstances in the case of personal injuries are the type and nature of the injury, the manner of its infliction, whether there has been any further complication of the state of health, the severity, intensity and duration of the pain syndrome, the possibility of its recovery, the duration of the treatment and the medical manipulations carried out, etc.

What is the statute of limitations in tort?

Tort claims shall be barred within a period of five years beginning on the date of the injury or the discovery of the tortfeasor or tortfeasor. The starting date of the limitation period shall be the time when the claim becomes due, which shall be the day on which the tort is committed, if the tortfeasor is known, and, if unknown, the day on which the tortfeasor is discovered.

It is crucial to obtain compensation that fully meets the requirements of justice to contact a lawyer specializing in non-pecuniary damages, who will familiarize himself with the case law in the specific case, provide all the necessary documentation, and adequately protect your rights.
