Spanish term

indemnización especial

Non-PRO Spanish to English Law/Patents Law (general) Work Injury
2. Objeto.- En el carácter invocado y cumpliendo instrucciones expresas de mi mandante vengo a iniciar demanda por cobro de la ::indemnización especial:: tarifada prevista en la ley 24028 de accidentes de trabajo, contra...........................................con domicilio en.......................................... por las consideraciones de hecho y derecho que a continuación se exponen.

I can't find anything directly related to this and want to see if anyone else has encountered this. I have it translated as:

and come to initiate legal proceedings for :: fixed rate :: compensation according to law 24028

Does anyone know if this would be a supplementary or fixed rate case or am I off the mark completely?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Jim Morrissey (asker) Feb 26, 2013:
No, I have not ruled out special indemnity and you are right I think - I think it's just a claim. Not legal proceedings. Good catch. It's a claim for occupational accidents (work injury).
philgoddard Feb 26, 2013:
Also, are you sure that "demanda" means legal proceedings? Couldn't it just be a claim or demand?
philgoddard Feb 26, 2013:
Context Who is writing to whom? Have you looked up the law concerned? And have you rejected 'special indemnity"?

Spanish term (edited): indemnización especial
Selected

special compensation

I don't see why a literal translation wouldn't work here.

indemnización = compensation

From Babylon Spanish-English:

tarifar v. price, give a cost to something, determine a price
________________

So I would say "determined/agreed" for "tarifada"

Hope this helps.
Example sentence:

...indemnización especial tarifada...

...special compensation determined...

Note from asker:
Great source thanks James. This seems to fit the bill - a special compensation. I suppose I was over-thinking it.
Peer comment(s):

agree philgoddard : Or damages, or indemnity.

(Arg.) special fixed-rate payment; lump-sum award

I wonder if this South Am e.g. Argentinian or Uruguyan.

Note the difference between special (particularis/zed) and general damages, interim payment and provisional damages.

TT previously known as Kirsty MacC.
Example sentence:

Information and advice about interim compensation payments for personal injury ... for your losses and expenses, is known as special damages
