Tazminatçözüm

Tazminatçözüm is a Turkish term referring to the set of legal mechanisms used to determine and provide compensation for damages arising from civil liability, contractual breaches, or other wrongful acts under Turkish law. It encompasses a range of pathways by which victims seek redress, including negotiation, mediation, arbitration, and court litigation. The concept covers both monetary and non-monetary remedies and is applied across civil, contractual, and some administrative contexts.

Damages governed by tazminatçözüm are typically divided into two main categories: maddi tazminat (material or financial damages) and manevi tazminat (moral damages). Maddi tazminat aims to compensate actual financial losses such as medical expenses, loss of earnings, and property damage, while manevi tazminat compensates non-material harm such as pain, distress, or loss of reputation. The calculation of damages relies on evidence, expert evaluations, and, in some cases, statutory guidelines or case law.

The process usually begins with attempts at voluntary settlement. If a settlement cannot be reached, parties may proceed through arabuluculuk (mediation), arbitration, or judicial proceedings. Establishing liability (fault or responsibility) and proving causation are central to most claims, with evidence and sometimes expert testimony played to quantify damages. Enforcement of awards is governed by applicable civil procedure rules.

Practical aspects of tazminatçözüm include the involvement of insurers, employers, and government bodies, as well as prescribed time limits for bringing claims. The approach aims to resolve disputes efficiently while ensuring fair compensation in line with Turkish civil and contractual law.
