Abstract

The works of some Brazilian legal scholars as well as precedents from the Brazilian higher court (Superior Tribunal de Justiça) have argued the possibility of mixing different species of non-economic damages related to personal injury, such as cosmetic damages. The present paper, on the other hand, proposes a different approach on the concept of damages, considering the distinction between damages as violations of legal duties and damages as losses resulting from personal injury.
