Abstract
A case of a soldier in the Italian Army, that was victim of a terrorist attack during a mission in Afghanistan - with injuries from trauma by shock wave - prompted the authors to investigate aspects of tertiary protection of victims of terrorism and organized crime in relationship with the "Regulation establishing criteria for forensic assessment and determination of disability and the biological damage and moral dependents of victims of terrorism and massacres that array, in accordance with Article n° 6 of Law August 3 2004, n. 206 (OJ No. 292, 16.12.2009)". The authors then detected as in the specific field of evaluation - represented by an indemnity social system of illness from employees because of service for personnel employed in military missions and for the victims of the attacks of orgainized crime -, the intervention of the legislature with reference to the "moral damage" it has been characterized by an orientation diametrically opposed to the case law as interpreted by the Supreme Court in Joint Session, which sentence no. 26972/08 has stated: "In the event of impairments arising from civil liability, the biological damage in itself exhaust the entire entry of non-pecuniary damage under Article 2059 cc, thus excluding the right to compensation for pain and suffering”. 1)Yoram Klugerb MD Facs Bomb explosion in Acts of terrorism – detonation, wound ballistics, triage and medical concerns.
