Summary/Abstract: The author discusses the terms ozljeda and lijek (approx. injury and medicine, drug) which entered legal terminology from medical terminology and thus collocating with other similar terms. Also, the distinction between the terms ozljeda and povreda (approx. injury and damage, harm) is established (in medical and legal terminology) as well as between the collocations pravni lijek and pravno sredstvo (approx. legal appeal and legal instrument).
