injured parties
Those seeking damages
Injured parties are people or groups who have suffered harm, loss, or damage—typically in a legal or formal context.
The phrase implies standing to seek redress: The injured parties filed suit against the manufacturer.
It can extend beyond physical injury to financial loss, reputation damage, or violation of rights.
In informal use, it sometimes carries ironic distance: Let's hear from the injured party when someone feels slighted over something trivial.
