damage compensation

Payment for harm

Damage compensation is money paid to make up for harm, loss, or injury.

The phrase appears in legal and insurance contexts where one party must compensate another for damages suffered: The court awarded damage compensation for the destroyed property.

It overlaps with "damages" alone, which already implies compensation.
