Law/Patents - Law (general) / Dispute Summary
French term or phrase: poste
Hola!

This appears a few times (in a Dispute Summary) and I am having a bit of trouble finding the correct translation in this context. Two examples are below.

This section is about the amount to be awarded to the claimant who has made a claim for a wrongful act:

Par suite, le poste afférent aux dépenses de santé actuelles sera fixé à la somme de XXXXX

=the amount?

This section is about the professional impact of the wrongful act that is being claimed for:

Ce poste de préjudice tend à indemniser la dévalorisation de la victime sur le marché du travail, pouvant se traduire sous forme de difficultés futures d'insertion

=this type?

Thanks in advance ;)

Explanation:
See link below.
From what I understand here the 'poste de prejudice' is the particular instance or specific injury that is subject to compensation. Another possibility which works is [specific] "award"

  • Dans le principe de la réparation intégrale de l'indemnisation du préjudice corporel tous les postes de préjudice sont indemnisables s'ils permettent une compensation ou une amélioration de l'état de la victime,

IOW poste de préjudice = different types of losses that could be the consequence of ONE injury / accident - it's one award, made of possibly several elements - each for a different type of suffered losses.


Damages

In law, damages are an award, typically of money, to be paid to a person as compensation for loss or injury. The rules for damages can and frequently do vary based on the type of claim which is presented (e.g., breach of contract versus a tort claim) and the jurisdiction.

At common law, damages are categorized into compensatory (or actual) damages, and punitive damages. Compensatory damages are further categorized into special damages, which are economic losses such as loss of earnings, property damage and medical expenses, and general damages, which are noneconomic damages such as pain and suffering and emotional distress.
...

Incidental losses include the costs needed to remedy problems and put things right. The largest element is likely to be the reinstatement of property damage. Take for example a factory which was burnt down by the negligence of a contractor. The claimant would be entitled to the direct costs required to rebuild the factory and replace the damaged machinery

Damages in a Personal Injury Case, The Elements

....

The judge described the purpose of the compensatory tort system. It awards money to make the person whole, if that is possible. Obviously, the person cannot be given back their physical or cognitive abilities. But deficits, medical expenses and loss of earning capacity have a value. How did the judge come to those determinations? What was significant to him? These are important questions for those of us who work exclusively in the personal injury field.
