Traffic accidents in Alcalá de Guadaíra: local references and key points
In Alcalá de Guadaíra, the busiest roads such as Avenida Santa Lucía and Plaza del Duque see significant urban traffic, with crucial institutions like the Court of First Instance and Instruction (Plaza del Duque, 12, 41500) and the Local Police (Avda. Santa Lucía, s/n) located in these areas. This is relevant because, if you are involved in an accident within the municipality, judicial and administrative procedures are handled at these points. For incidents on access routes like the A-92, the Guardia Civil and the city's National Police (C/ Maestro José Casado, s/n) typically intervene to prepare police reports and preliminary proceedings, which are then submitted to the local courts.
Compensation according to the 2024 traffic compensation scale: specific figures
The 2024 Traffic Compensation Scale, regulated by Law 35/2015 and updated annually, sets objective amounts for injuries and damages resulting from road accidents. For example, a whiplash injury involving 45 days of basic personal injury is compensated with €2,016 (45 days x €44.98/day). If there are also 15 days of moderate impairment (work leave), the compensation adds €674.25 (15 days x €44.95/day), totaling €2,690.25. An ankle sprain with 30 days off work and a sequela valued at 2 points may reach €1,349.40 (30 x €44.98) plus approximately €1,000 for sequelae, depending on the victim's age. Serious injuries, such as a femur fracture with 7 days of hospitalization and sequelae, can exceed €10,000 depending on the degree of disability. These amounts are indicative and depend on the medical report and forensic assessment under the current scale.
Legal procedure in Alcalá de Guadaíra: steps and deadlines
After an accident in Alcalá de Guadaíra, the out-of-court claim is initially addressed to the responsible insurer, which has three months to issue a reasoned offer.
