Traffic accidents in Alcobendas: key information and claims

Local situation in Alcobendas: relevant points and real context

Alcobendas, a municipality in the Community of Madrid, experiences high traffic density, especially near its commercial and residential hubs. While the evidence does not specify particular accident black spots, it does indicate that the judicial bodies with jurisdiction over traffic accidents are located at Calle Joaquín Rodrigo, 3 (CP 28100), where the Civil and Criminal Courts and the Civil Registry are concentrated. This location is particularly relevant for those who need to file a legal claim after a traffic accident in the city.

2024 Traffic Compensation Scale: specific figures and real examples

The 2024 Traffic Compensation Scale sets out the criteria and amounts for calculating compensation for injuries and damages resulting from road traffic accidents. For example, whiplash with a 45-day recovery period may result in compensation of between €3,200 and €4,500, depending on the severity and the victim's personal circumstances. If the injured party suffers a conservatively treated radial fracture, with 60 days off work and 10 days of severe impairment, compensation may range from €5,000 to €6,500. In cases of minor permanent injuries, such as residual functional limitation, the scale provides for amounts from €1,000 to €3,000 per injury point, depending on the person's age and situation.

The scale also covers compensation for hospital days (between €58.41 and €109.23 per day, depending on severity) and material damages, such as repair costs or the vehicle’s market value, as determined by independent expert reports.

Procedure for claiming compensation in Alcobendas

The process for claiming after a traffic accident in Alcobendas begins with a prior claim to the responsible insurer, which then has a three-month period to issue a reasoned offer. If the response is unsatisfactory or not received, judicial proceedings can be initiated.

Judicial claims for personal and material damages must be filed with the Civil Courts of Alcobendas, located at Calle Joaquín Rodrigo, 3. It is essential to remember that the time limit for claims is one year from the date your injuries are medically stabilized. If the accident involves criminal consequences (e.g., driving under the influence), the claim may proceed through criminal courts, but most minor injury cases are handled via civil proceedings.

In Alcobendas, court proceedings require medical documentation, the police report (which can be obtained at the National Police Station at Avenida de España, 52), and, if necessary, an independent expert report.
