Traffic accidents in Alzira: everything you need to know to claim your compensation
In Alzira, handling traffic accidents usually involves the Local Police and National Police, whose headquarters are located at Calle Pere Morell, 4. Judicial proceedings take place at the court building in Plaza del Sufragi, 9 (postcode 46600). This location is essential, as all legal claims arising from accidents in the municipality must be filed there. Additionally, Ronda de Algemesí is a relevant address for judicial and civil registry procedures in the city, which may be necessary for obtaining documents required in the compensation process.
Compensation according to the 2024 traffic scale: specific figures and real examples
The 2024 traffic compensation scale, regulated by Law 35/2015, establishes the amounts awarded to accident victims. For example, a post-traumatic cervicalgia (whiplash injury) with 45 days off work entitles the victim to between €3,200 and €4,500, depending on the degree of personal damage (basic: €35.71/day; moderate: €61.89/day). If a victim suffers a humerus fracture requiring surgery and 90 days of recovery (30 moderate, 60 basic), compensation can exceed €5,000. In cases of permanent after-effects, such as moderate functional limitation in a limb, the scale sets compensation ranges from €10,000 to €20,000, depending on age and impact on daily life. These amounts may increase if there are correcting factors such as loss of income, need for third-party assistance, or moral damages.
How to claim compensation in Alzira? Step-by-step process
The first step after an accident in Alzira is to gather all documentation: accident report, police statements (which can be requested at the station at Calle Pere Morell, 4), medical reports, and receipts for expenses. The out-of-court claim must be addressed to the liable insurance company, which has three months to provide a reasoned offer. If the offer is insufficient or there is no response, judicial proceedings begin by filing the claim at the courts in Plaza del Sufragi, 9. The deadline to claim for personal injuries is one year from the stabilization of injuries (not from the accident date).
In Alzira, proceedings may follow the civil route (for compensation claims) or the criminal route (if there are indications of a criminal offence, such as drunk driving). The competent court will be the Court of First Instance and Investigation assigned by rotation, located at Plaza del Sufragi, 9. It is essential to submit independent expert reports to prove the actual extent of injuries, especially in cases of permanent sequelae or discrepancies with insurance assessments.
