Parshat Mishpatim
Amongst the various laws in Mishpatim — nearly all of societal or interpersonal nature — the Torah outlines the laws of compensation for physical damages. When one person injures another, he must compensate the damage with a financial payment covering five components. He must pay for permanent loss of income due to the injury, embarrassment and pain incurred, loss of work while the victim was healing, and medical expenses.
