Extent of liability for damages in the case of bodily injury

In the case of injury to a person's body or damage to his or her health, compensation must be made of the costs of the treatment as well as the costs incurred by the pecuniary disadvantage sustained by the injured party as a result of the temporary or permanent suspension or reduction of his or her earning capacity or the increase in his or her needs as a result of the injury. Reasonable financial compensation may also be claimed when the damage is not of a pecuniary nature.
