hüvitamisnõuete

Hüvitamisnõue is an Estonian legal term that translates to "claim for compensation" or "claim for damages" in English. It refers to a legal right held by an individual or entity to seek redress for harm or loss suffered due to the wrongful actions or omissions of another party. This harm can be of various types, including financial losses, physical injuries, emotional distress, or damage to property.

The basis for a hüvitamisnõue typically lies in a legal obligation that has been breached. This breach can occur in different contexts, such as contractual disputes where one party fails to fulfill their obligations, or tortious liability where a person's negligence or intentional act causes harm. The law provides a mechanism for the injured party to pursue a claim to recover the losses they have incurred as a result of this breach.

To successfully pursue a hüvitamisnõue, the claimant generally needs to demonstrate several key elements. These usually include proving that a wrongful act or omission occurred, that this act or omission caused the claimant to suffer a loss or damage, and that there is a causal link between the wrongful act and the damage. The aim of a hüvitamisnõue is to restore the injured party to the position they would have been in had the wrongful act not occurred, as far as monetary compensation can achieve this. The specific procedures and requirements for filing and pursuing such a claim are governed by Estonian civil law.
