indemnity
Usage Note
Indennizzo is a legal and insurance term for monetary compensation paid to offset a loss or damage — chiedere un indennizzo (to claim compensation). It differs subtly from risarcimento (damages awarded for proven harm): indennizzo implies a standardised payment regardless of fault, while risarcimento implies legal liability. Both are common in contracts and insurance policies.
Examples
"La compagnia ha pagato un indennizzo generoso."
Natural Translation
The company paid a generous compensation.
