Compensation claims
According to Greek legislation, a person who unlawfully and through their fault have caused prejudice to another shall be liable for compensation. The compensation is almost always monetary.
Which actions or omissions are considered unlawful or illegal is determined by the relevant legislation, special regulations and the general principles of law, as those are specified and interpreted by jurisprudence and case law.
In case of an accident, the court considers various factors to determine the extent of liability, it evaluates the damage incurred (material or moral) and awards a monetary compensation.
Compensation beneficiaries
In case of fatal accident, the victim’s family is entitled to compensation for moral damages attributed to the accident. The meaning of “family” is not regulated by law. Jurisprudence and case law have previously formed a relatively narrow notion of the term “family”, in which only immediate family is included.
However, recent judgements have broadened the notion and have adjudicated monetary compensation to plaintiffs in free relationships, co-living partners, etc., taking into account the emotional bond between the plaintiff and the victim.
Where the beneficiary of the compensation is underaged or legally incapacitated, they will be represented in trial by their legally appointed providers of parental care or guardians.
