ABSTRACT – Compensation for loss of opportunity has posed and puts many questions about its compatibility with italian normative. Chance appears prima facie as an impalpable resource, whose loss entails an imbalance in the qualitative and quantitative determination of the subject’s claims. Compensation for loss-of-life damage appears to be functional, hence, to the protection of the subject’s assets both on the occasion of the loss of the opportunity and on the utility that from that occasion could. In other words, loss-making loss could be attributed to a pure capital loss (defined by Anglo-Saxon doctrine, as an economic loss), namely a purely economic prejudice.
KEYWORDS – Chance, loss of chance, contract law, causation theory, damage, legal claims, economic prejudice.
