Abstract

This article seeks to briefly analyze the need to repair existential damage to protect human dignity, since such damage covers any injury to a fundamental right or to the right of the personality, which causes frustration to some life project and reprogramming of daily life. Existential damage refers to “not being able to do it anymore”, “to behave differently”, or even to the loss of a chance, therefore, it can be considered a “tertium genus” in the area of civil responsibility, different from the damage patrimonial or moral. The existential damage is liable to indemnity because nobody has the right to change people’s lives, taking away their expectations or the fulfillment of their desires.
