aggravation of damages加重损害赔偿 

指虽不影响所犯罪行的性质和实质，但却应该提高损害赔偿额的一些特定情况。主要包括：1.造成伤害的客观环境特殊；2.受害人未能获得及时的医疗救助或其选择、雇用的医生医疗不当造成的严重后果；3.受害人以前就存在身体的或精神的严重不良状态； 4.被告人对被害人实施伤害有高度的恶意，从而应增加对其惩罚性的赔偿。所谓加重的损害赔偿金是指行为人的某种加害行为给被害人带来精神伤害时，根据被害人的请求，法院作出的物质损害赔偿之外的旨在补偿受害人精神损害的那部分赔偿。在许多加重的损害赔偿金案件中，由于精神损害无法准确地计算，法院往往作出高额的加重损害赔偿金，而此类案件常常又被施以惩罚性赔偿，所以我们看到的一些天价的赔偿案件往往是既有加重的损害赔偿金又有惩罚性的损害赔偿金。以下为其英文释义，可进一步了解其含义：

Aggravation of damages are the special and highly exceptional damages awarded on a defendant by a court, when his/her conduct amounts to tortious conduct subjecting the plaintiff to humiliating and malicious circumstances. Additional damages are also awarded in situations where a plaintiff is subjected to distress, embarrassment, or humiliation. Aggravated damages are basically compensatory in nature and they are awarded for the aggravated damage that is caused to a plaintiff. 相关例句如下，可供参考：

例句1

Aggravation of damages are determined on the basis of the intangible injury inflicted on a plaintiff. Intangible injury includes the pain, anguish, grief, humiliation, wounded pride, damaged self-confidence or self-esteem, loss of faith in friends or colleagues, and similar matters that are caused by the conduct of a defendant.

加重损害赔偿是根据对原告造成的无形损害确定的。无形伤害包括由被告的行为引起的疼痛、痛苦、悲伤、羞辱、受伤的自尊、受损的自信或自尊、对朋友或同事失去信心以及类似的问题。

例句2

When compared to punitive damages, aggravation of damages require proof of injury. Aggravation of damages can be attained as additional compensation if the injured establishes that a breach of contract caused mental distress.

与惩罚性损害赔偿相比，加重损害赔偿要求有伤害证明。如果受害者证明违反合同造成精神痛苦，加重损害赔偿可以作为额外赔偿获得。
