Bótakröfur
Bótakröfur refers to demands for compensation or damages in Icelandic law. This legal concept encompasses a range of claims arising from harm, injury, or loss. Such claims can be made in civil litigation, where an injured party seeks to recover financial losses from the party responsible for causing the harm. These losses can include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage.
In the context of criminal proceedings, bótakröfur can also be filed by the victim or their dependents.
