The term "damnum sine injuria" is more properly stated "damnum sine injuria esse potest". It means "There may be an injury inflicted without any act of injustice." There is another term like it that is "damnum absque injuria", which means damage or harm without an injury in the legal sense. In other words a loss or injury to someone which does not give that person a right to sue the person causing the loss.

Injuria sine damnum is a latin term translating to "Injury without Damage". It simply means that someone caused damage to someone else but did not cause injury.
An example would be:
A flower shop recently opened next to another flower shop that had been there since the 1930's. As a result of the newer flower shop, the older shop loss customers and profit which resulted in them going out of business. While the other new flower damaged the old flower shops business, they did not in fact cause injury.

Examples from: http://www.lectlaw.com/def/d101.htm One man may cause a damage or loss to another, for which the latter has no remedy. He is then said to have received 'damnum absque injuria.' For example, if a man sets up a business in the neighborhood of another identical business, and by doing so, deprives the latter of its patronage. Another instance might be where a man excavates a foundation with proper care and diligence, but injures an adjoining house due to the unsuitable materials used in constructing that house, the injury is 'damnum absque injuria.' Another: When a man slanders another by publishing the truth about that person then the slandered person is said to have suffered loss without injury.
