When Are You Entitled to Claim Compensation?

Civil liability that gives rise to compensation generally rests on three elements: a fault (whether a breach of a contractual obligation or a harmful act), actual harm suffered by the injured party, and a direct causal link between the fault and the harm.

Compensable harm includes material damage, such as direct financial loss or lost gains the injured party would otherwise have made, and in certain cases may include moral/non-material harm, depending on the court's assessment of the facts before it.

The success of any compensation claim depends primarily on the claimant's ability to establish these elements with available documents and evidence — so it is advisable to document any harmful incident as soon as it occurs (correspondence, invoices, reports, witnesses) rather than relying on memory later.

Every compensation case has its own circumstances that affect how a court assesses the appropriate amount. If you have suffered harm and are considering a compensation claim, we can discuss the specifics of your case in a direct consultation.
