In the adhesion procedure under §§ 403 ff. StPO you can assert civil claims directly within the criminal proceedings – without having to conduct a separate civil action.
Which claims can be asserted
In particular compensation for pain and suffering and damages arising from the offence may be claimed. The criminal court can decide on these in its judgment.
The advantages at a glance
A separate civil action often becomes unnecessary, you obtain an enforceable title, the cost risk is generally lower and the procedure is frequently faster. For injured parties this is a considerable advantage.
