Damages resulting from death

If someone dies in an incident for which someone else is liable, the victim’s loved ones can recover the loss from the liable party. The death of a loved one can lead to different types of loss. Examples are the funeral costs or the loss of maintenance. Since 1 January 2019 the loss caused by the grief over a loved one’s death, so-called emotional loss, also qualifies for compensation.
