Averia is a Spanish word that translates to “damage” or “breakdown” in English. It is commonly used to refer to a mechanical failure or malfunction in a vehicle or machinery.
Averia is a legal term that refers to a ship’s damage or breakdown while at sea. It is commonly used in maritime law to determine liability and responsibility for the damages incurred. When a ship experiences an averia, the shipowner or operator may be held accountable for the resulting losses, unless the averia was caused by an external factor beyond their control, such as a natural disaster or an act of war. The concept of averia is crucial in maritime insurance claims and legal disputes involving ship damage or breakdowns.
