Pecuniary damages – this phrase is part of the Tort Law where it details these material damages claimed in court that can be calculated in cash precisely as a concrete amount. The term is connected with another term – “non-pecuniary damages”, which refers to these non-material damages – i.e. the injuries, resulting in suffering and pain that are also valued in money. The role of the money in this case is to compensate the non-pecuniary damages.
