Punitive damages: In some restricted cases, the court may award punitive damages to punish the at-fault party for their reckless or intentional behaviour.

Interest: More often than not, the Cyprus Court awards interest on the damages awarded to you as compensation for a car or other accident. This is meant to compensate you for the time value of money and the delay in receiving compensation. The rate and calculation of interest will vary on the law at the given dates and on the specifics of your case.

The above list is not exhaustive and there may be other types of damages that can be claimed in an accident compensation case, depending on the specific circumstances of the accident in your case.
