Out-of-pocket loss

Meaning in Spanish law and related legal services.

What it means

Actual expenses and financial losses linked to the harm under the applicable rules. It differs from income or profit that was not earned.

Legal reference

Road Accident Liability and Insurance Act · Art. 141 — Out-of-pocket loss, Art. 142 — Out-of-pocket loss

Plain-language explanation of Spanish law, not an official legal definition. The linked English legislation is an unofficial translation; the Spanish reference text should be consulted in case of doubt. The road-accident scale does not automatically determine compensation for an assault; its possible use as guidance requires case-specific legal assessment.
