Greek term

ένδικο ατύχημα

Greek to English Bus/Financial Law (general) Insurance
The adjective here puzzles me, the phrase crops up a lot in my document and I don't know how to render it. Here's just one example. (The ατύχημα does actually refer to a road traffic accident).

Οπως προανέφερα, από το ένδικο ατύχημα υπέστην σοβαρότατο τραυματισμό.

Thanks in advance!

Χρησιμοποιείται το «ένδικος» αντί για το «επίδικος», δηλαδή. Καλημέρα!
Dave Bindon Mar 11, 2012:
I agree with Dylan "In question" is fine in this context, or just 'this accident'. The fact the accident in question is before the court shows that it is thought that a punishable offence as been committed. You can see ένδικος in used several different ways in the following bilingual document.

this side of the pond... ...agrees with you too!
Valentini Mellas Mar 11, 2012:
My impression from the other side of the pond is that this is used when they want to emphasize the severity of the accident and to underline that this was not small potatoes; it carries punishment by law (usually referring to jail time and not just monetary remedies)
Mihailolja (asker) Mar 11, 2012:
Thanks Dylan, that's certainly my experience too with the searching I've done, all the dictionaries I've looked in give "legal/remedial" etc.
Angeliki Papadopoulou Mar 11, 2012:
It certainly makes sense in this context, Dylan.
Dylan Edwards Mar 11, 2012:
My impression (regardless of what dictionaries say) is that ένδικο tends to mean "contested" or "at issue", or perhaps no more than "in question" as in "the accident in question" ("the accident concerned").

accident punishable by law

Μπορεί να εννοεί ότι το αδίκημα είναι ένδικο με την έννοια ότι υπάρχει στη νομοθεσία δυνατότητα τιμωρίας. Δεν είναι δηλαδή κάτι μικρό που να μην αναζητηθεί ένδικο βοήθημα για την επίλυσή του.
