GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Italian term or phrase:danni e/o pregiudizi
English translation:losses and/or damage
Entered by: Giulia Tremolada

Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s)
Italian term or phrase: danni e/o pregiudizi
In tutto il testo, ogniqualvolta si fa riferimento alla responsabilità, si dice "XXX si assume ogni e qualsivoglia responsabilità per danni e/o pregiudizi all'altra parte e a terzi in genere".

E' preferibile "damages and/or prejudice" oppure "damages and/or detriment"?

Grazie mille

losses and/or damage
Explanation:
There are two things that you can suffer as a result of negligence: a financial loss, or physical damage/injury. In English, the line between the two is very blurred, just as "danni" and "pregiudizi" basically mean the same thing.

Strictly speaking "loss and/or damage" is a bit of a tautology. However, this is the nearest equivalent if you want to translate four Italian words into four English ones.

neutral  philgoddard: "Detriment" sounds a bit odd to me. Most of the Google hits for "losses and detriment" were either very old or from the Indian subcontinent.
