Insurance
The context is as follows:
A person suffered severe injuries as a result of which his Krankenkasse had to pay very siginificant hospital, nursing and home care costs; the home care costs will also continue for a long time into the future.
The Krankenkasse is now attempting to recover its costs from the manufacturer of the product that caused to person to suffer the injuries and/or the company's third party liability insurer.
No out of court settlement can be reached so the krankenkasse is resorting to the courts. The statement of claim contains a number of tables with different types of costs, all of which are introduced by the heading:
"Bezifferte Schäden der Klägerin
Die Klägerin hatte aufgrund des Vorfalls als Krankenversicherung der geschädigten Person u.a. die nachstehend dargestellten und erbrachten Leistungen zu erbringen:"
Could someone please help with the correct term used in the insurance world?
Many thanks.

(BrE) quantified damages and losses
As per Phil G., whilst losses are added for a sweep-up or mop-up.
In the UK, likely to be special vs. general damages, the latter - like pain & suffering - assessed by the court.
