It seems to mean rather "harm".  However, this may be a distinction
without a difference, as French law apparently has no generalized concept
of damnum absque injuria (harm without legal wrong), though it does
recognize diminished or absent capacity (minority, lunacy, etc.)
I speak under correction, of course.

IANAL, either French or any other kind.
