(Accidents – Damages – Breach of Contracts)

Protecting legitimate rights and interests is not limited to preventing their violation, but also extends to addressing the consequences that may arise from such violation once it has occurred. Hence, the provisions for compensation and civil claims serve as legal means to redress harm and restore balance to the legal positions affected by a harmful act, breach of obligation, or infringement of a legitimate right.

The essence of compensation lies in providing justice to the injured party and compensating them for any material or moral damages they have suffered, in accordance with the law, and not in achieving profit, enrichment, or revenge against the other party. Compensation is a means of protecting rights, preserving legitimate interests, and maintaining human dignity by enabling the injured party to claim their rights through established legal channels.

Civil claims encompass a wide range of disputes, such as compensation for accidents and injuries, damages to persons or property, breach of contracts and obligations, and other situations that necessitate examining the facts, assessing the damage, and determining the resulting rights and obligations in accordance with the provisions of the law.
