The purpose of this paper is to analyze the applicability of Orientation Criteria of the Croatian Supreme Court from 2002. on determining compensation for non-pecuniary damage by the Law on Obligations from 2005. When Law on Obligations (2005) came into force, it essentially changed the system of compensation for non-pecuniary damage in such a way that, instead of the subjective concept of non-pecuniary damage, it introduced an objective concept of non-pecuniary damage.Attention is given to the basic problems in defining nonpecuniary damage and the recognition of the right to monetary compensation in personal injuries cases.
