Marginal damage is a term used in the economics of law that refers to the incremental (derivative) change in damage incurred by increasing levels of risk or decreasing levels of prevention with respect to some kind of harmful activity. Marginal damages are used to calculate optimal levels of damage, risk, and prevention.
