Compensation Law

Compensation law is the discipline that contains the rules on remedying the pecuniary and non-pecuniary damage suffered by individuals. An action brought to remedy bodily harm — such as loss of support due to death, loss of earning capacity and disability — or damage to assets is a pecuniary-damages action; an action brought where mental integrity is harmed by an unlawful act is a non-pecuniary-damages action.

Reaching the desired outcome depends on examining the concrete event before filing, drawing up a legally strong statement of claim and proving the allegations with strong evidence. For this reason, working with an expert lawyer in compensation cases is of great importance.
