In Alcorcón, the handling of traffic accident claims has a notable feature: all judicial claims related to road accidents are processed at the Alcorcón Court of Instance, located at Calle Carballino, s/n, corner of Calle Timanfaya (CP 28925). This building houses the First Instance and Instruction Courts that deal with both civil and criminal proceedings related to accidents.

Knowing this detail is important as it streamlines the filing of lawsuits and accessing procedural information.
Compensation under the 2024 traffic scale: concrete examples
The 2024 traffic compensation scale, established by Law 35/2015, sets the amounts for personal injuries resulting from traffic accidents. For example, a cervical sprain (whiplash) requiring 45 days off work is compensated between €3,200 and €4,500, depending on the degree of moderate personal harm and the presence of aftereffects. If the victim suffers a radial fracture with 60 days of recovery and 10 days of hospitalization, compensation can range from €5,800 to €7,000. In cases of permanent aftereffects—such as functional limitation of the dominant hand—the scale foresees amounts exceeding €15,000, depending on age and the impact on the victim’s working life. These figures are indicative and must be calculated on a case-by-case basis according to medical reports.
Legal steps after a traffic accident in Alcorcón
The process for claiming compensation in Alcorcón generally begins with an out-of-court claim to the responsible insurer, which has a maximum period of three months to issue a reasoned offer. If the response is unsatisfactory or not received, the next step is to go to the Alcorcón Court of Instance (Calle Carballino, s/n) by filing a lawsuit at the appropriate First Instance Court. The legal deadline for filing the claim is one year from the stabilization of injuries, not from the date of the accident. In cases involving possible crimes (e.g., drunk driving or serious injuries), the criminal route is handled in the same courts but with different procedures and time limits. It is essential to distinguish between civil claims (compensation) and criminal proceedings (driver’s liability).
