How to determine the compensation rate?
Pursuant to Article 591 of the Civil Code in 2015 stipulating damage caused by harm to life: 1. Damage caused by harm to life shall comprise: a) Damage caused by harm to life prescribed in Article 590 of this Code; b) Reasonable funeral costs; c) Support for the dependants of the aggrieved person; d) Other damage as prescribed by law. 2. A person causing death to another person must pay compensation for damage as provided in Clause 1 of this Article together with an amount of money as compensation for mental suffering of the closest relatives in the first line of succession to the deceased. If there are no such relatives, this sum shall be paid to the persons who were directly reared by the deceased or to the persons who directly reared the deceased. The amount of compensation for mental suffering shall be as agreed by the parties; if the parties are not able to agree, the maximum sum shall not exceed one-hundred-month base salary prescribed in by the State.
