Depending on the object of infringement, Polish tort law distinguishes property damage and personal injuries. This distinction is of key importance in two aspects. Firstly, while the compensation of property damage can cover only pecuniary damage, the compensation of personal injuries can redress both pecuniary and non-pecuniary damage. Secondly, personal injury claims cannot be transferred (unless they are already due and payable and have been recognized in writing or awarded in a final and unappealable court decision).
