Assess Your Tort Compensation Claim

Compensation and Liability
Prepared by: Constantinople
Compensation Claims
Suffering loss in an event does not alone determine from whom and on what legal ground compensation may be sought. Conduct, unlawfulness, loss, fault, and causation form the general framework for a tort claim. Strict liability or special statutory provisions change the assessment accordingly.
The Connection Between Event and Loss
Under Articles 49 et seq. of the Turkish Code of Obligations, the conduct causing each loss must be shown. Several persons' conduct may affect one event. Its circumstances, the injured person's contribution, and third-party intervention must be examined. A criminal investigation may matter, but does not resolve every civil-action question by itself.
Which Heads of Loss May Be Claimed?
Pecuniary loss, lost income, and any non-pecuniary loss require separate grounds and documents. An invoice or report does not automatically prove the connection with the event. Alleged future losses also require concrete data. Earlier payments and mitigation measures must be considered in the calculation.
Time Limits and the Remedy
Limitation is examined according to the legal basis and knowledge dates. Special areas such as traffic accidents, workplace accidents, or administrative acts may have different jurisdiction, preliminary application, and time-limit rules. We first establish chronology and the liability connection, then assess available items and evidence requirements in writing.
Documents That May Be Prepared for the Initial Review
