Traffic accidents in Alicante: real data and legal procedure
Highlighted accident in Alicante: incidents on Avenida de Aguilera
In Alicante, Avenida de Aguilera is one of the busiest roads and, over recent years, has been the scene of various accidents, especially near number 53, where the city's courts are located. The convergence of vehicles and pedestrians in this area increases the likelihood of collisions and pedestrian accidents, creating a unique scenario for those involved in a traffic accident in this specific urban environment.
How compensation is calculated: 2024 traffic compensation table and real examples
The 2024 traffic compensation table regulates compensation for injuries and personal damages resulting from traffic accidents. For example, a cervical sprain (whiplash) with 45 days of sick leave and no after-effects is compensated with approximately €3,200 - €4,500, adding up the days of basic personal damage (€35/day) and moderate personal damage (€57/day), depending on severity and temporary incapacity. For a radius fracture with 60 days off work and 2 points of permanent injury, compensation may exceed €6,000. If there is absolute temporary incapacity for 30 days, the table sets a rate of €64/day, meaning €1,920 for that concept alone, to which basic damages and, where appropriate, permanent injuries assessed according to the relevant table must be added. It is essential to review each case in detail to correctly apply the compensation table and assess possible physical or psychological sequelae.
Claiming compensation in Alicante: deadlines and competent courts
If you suffer a traffic accident in Alicante, the first step is to file a claim with the responsible party's insurance company. The insurer has three months to make a reasoned offer. If the offer is unsatisfactory or no response is received, you can go to court. The civil claim for injuries is filed at the Alicante Courts, located at Avda. Aguilera, 53, 03007 Alicante. The time limit to file a civil action is one year from the stabilization of injuries (when the victim is fully discharged). In cases of gross negligence (for example, driving under the influence), criminal proceedings may also be initiated, in which case the courts of instruction at the same address (Avda. Aguilera, 53) are competent to investigate the offence and civil liability. It is essential to provide medical documentation, police reports, and any evidence proving the facts and the injuries suffered.
