korvausvelvollisuutta

Korvausvelvollisuus refers to the legal obligation to compensate for damages or losses caused by one's actions or omissions. This principle is fundamental in many legal systems and aims to restore the injured party to the position they would have been in had the damage not occurred. The concept encompasses various types of compensation, including material damages, which cover financial losses, and non-material damages, which address suffering, pain, or loss of enjoyment of life.

Establishing korvausvelvollisuus typically requires proving fault, causation, and damage. Fault can arise from negligence or intent. Causation means that the action or omission directly led to the damage. Damage refers to the actual harm suffered by the victim. The extent of korvausvelvollisuus can vary depending on the specific circumstances and the applicable laws, which may include contractual obligations, tort law, or statutory provisions. The purpose is to ensure fairness and to deter harmful conduct by holding individuals and entities accountable for the consequences of their behavior.
