Reparation of damage, injury or injury
In other words, the action of repaying implies the compensation, compensation and reparation for any damage that has been caused.
Damages can be physical both to people and to material goods, or also intangible such as the violation of a human right, for example freedom.
We must say that the action to compensate can be voluntary, that is, someone causes harm to another and immediately offers their help to compensate it, or failing that, the person who caused a grievance and does not respond to the appropriate damage repair It can be compelled by the judicial means to respond to that fact.
Of course, this last case will demand that the affected party have presented the corresponding claim.
Applications in insurance, law and labor
Meanwhile, the concept of compensation turns out to be very common and frequent in several areas, such is the case of insurance, labor and law.
In the specific case of insurance, mainly, these, in their contracts, record the fulfillment of certain obligations as well as the provision of rights between the insurance company and the client who has acquired certain insurance, such is the case of a house, of a car, or of any other object or property.
The policy It is the formal document in which the contractual relationship between the company and the insured in question is established; The policy assumes that the insured pays a certain premium agreed in a timely manner with the insurance company and then, in the event of any damage: theft, collision, among others, the insured property must receive the relevant compensation. In other words, the company carries out the action to compensate its client in accordance with the provisions of the appropriate policy.
In the event that, for example, the insured property is a car and suffers a theft, although obviously the insurance company is not guilty of this theft, in any case, due to the contractual obligation carried, it is the one who has to compensate the holder of the policy of that stolen car
On the other hand, in the civil context, when an individual, for example, causes damage to the property of his neighbor, he must compensate him based on the damage caused. In case of not doing it of his own accord, the damaged neighbor will have all the right to make the pertinent judicial claim so that the justice intervenes and after the confirmation of the damage order his neighbor to compensate him for the damages produced on his property.
It is also common in the field of law that when someone slander or insult another individual, he requests compensation for the damages that such injurious statements caused him in his personal and professional life. Redress may consist of a public apology or the delivery of a specified sum of cash.
Public figures tend to find themselves involved in this type of situation frequently, because of course, as a consequence of their notoriety they usually make statements in the press that sometimes annoy others, especially the most controversial and transgressive public figures, who precisely do use it to generate impact around you.
But of course, everything has its limits and when someone feels affected by a saying of another in a public environment and that comment strongly affects them in their daily, personal, and even professional life, they can sue the person who has commented on it. with the mission to recant and apologize publicly.
There are many individuals who sometimes do not measure what they say about others and in that eagerness to be controversial or out of anger they end up saying certainly horrible things about others. And when that happens there is nothing else to take charge and respond to justice if things were taken to that plane.
Artists, politicians, athletes, musicians, among other public personalities often sue the media that they consider defame them.
They ask for public apologies and financial compensation, depending on the case, and if they win the lawsuit against the media, that money is usually donated.
We must emphasize that extra-judicial agreements can be concluded between the parties that avoid reaching a trial in this way.
