Compensateis a term that refers indemnify, repair or remedy damage, injury, or injury caused to another individual by who just caused some of the aforementioned situations.
Reparation of damage, injury or injury
In other words, the action of repaying implies the compensation, the compensation and the repair of any damage that has been caused.
Damages can be physical both to people and material goods, or also intangible such as the violation of some right human, for example freedom.
We must say that the action to compensate can be voluntary, that is, someone causes harm to another and immediately offers his help to compensate, or in his defect, the person who produced a grievance and does not respond to the appropriate damage repair may be compelled by the judicial means to respond to that made of him.
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, mostly, these, in their contracts, record the compliance 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, a car, or any other object or property.
The policyIt 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 case of suffering any damage: theft, crash, among others, the insured property must receive compensation relevant. 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 obligation contractual contract carried, it is who has to compensate the policy holder 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 on their own initiative, the damaged neighbor will have all the right to make the pertinent legal claim so that Justice intervenes and after confirming the damage order your neighbor to compensate you for the damage caused to your 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 sayings caused him in his personal life, professional. 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 that notoriety they have, they usually make statements in the press that sometimes annoy others, especially the most controversial and transgressive public figures, who precisely make use of it to generate repercussions for their around.
But of course, everything has its limits and when someone feels affected by a saying of another in a public medium and that comment strongly affects them in their daily, personal, and even professional life, you can demand that the person who has commented on the mission to retract and apologize public.
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 trial 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.
