kártalanítást

Kártalanítás is a Hungarian term that translates to compensation or indemnification. It refers to the legal or contractual obligation to make good for a loss or damage suffered by another party. This can occur in various contexts, including insurance, tort law, and contractual disputes. The fundamental principle behind kártalanítás is to restore the injured party to the position they would have been in had the loss or damage not occurred.

In the realm of insurance, kártalanítás is the process by which an insurer compensates a policyholder for a covered loss. This could be damage to property, medical expenses, or financial losses arising from an insured event. The terms of the insurance policy dictate the extent of the kártalanítás. In tort law, kártalanítás is awarded by a court to a plaintiff who has suffered harm due to the wrongful act or omission of another. This compensation aims to cover economic damages, such as medical bills and lost income, as well as non-economic damages, like pain and suffering.

Contractual kártalanítás typically arises when one party breaches a contract, causing financial damage to the other. The non-breaching party may be entitled to compensation to cover their losses resulting from the breach. The specific mechanisms and amounts of kártalanítás are often determined by legal statutes, case law, and the specific agreements between parties. The ultimate goal is to provide a fair and equitable resolution for the party that has experienced a demonstrable loss.
