Low compensation payment in fatal dog attack questioned
Original: schmerzensgeld
In Germany, discussion is growing over a compensation payment of 24,000 euros awarded in the case of a jogger killed by attack dogs. Reports are questioning why the so-called Schmerzensgeld, or pain and suffering damages, is so low given the fatal outcome. The debate touches on how German law values such losses.
Why now: The relatively small damages figure in a fatal dog attack case is prompting public debate about fairness of compensation.
