German Federal Indemnification Law

The German Federal Indemnification Law (Bundesentschädigungsgesetz) provides compensation to individuals who suffer injury, loss, or damage resulting from official actions or decisions by authorities, including wrongful acts, mistakes, or administrative errors. It establishes the conditions and procedures under which affected persons can seek financial redress from the state, promoting accountability and fair treatment. The law covers various scenarios like accidents caused by government entities or wrongful administrative measures, ensuring victims are fairly compensated for harm incurred through official responsibilities while maintaining clear guidelines for claims processing.
