In Benalmádena, the Justice Office and the Court of Peace are located at Avenida Juan Luis Peralta, 39, 1º (C.P. 29639), according to official information from the Junta de Andalucía. This is the reference point for any judicial procedure related to traffic accidents in the area.

Traffic accident compensation in 2024: specific figures from the compensation table

The 2024 traffic compensation table sets out very precise amounts for injuries and permanent damage resulting from an accident. For example, a cervical sprain (whiplash) with 45 days of medical leave can result in compensation ranging from €3,200 to €4,500, depending on the severity of the injury and the victim's personal circumstances. If the injury involves sick leave with an inability to perform usual activities, the 2024 table sets €61.89/day for moderate days (hospitalization or significant leave) and €35.71/day for basic days. Thus, a wrist fracture with 30 days of leave and 10 days of hospitalization can amount to between €2,500 and €3,500 just for personal injury days, to which any physical or aesthetic permanent damage would be added. For serious injuries with permanent disability, such as partial incapacity, the table contemplates amounts that can exceed €20,000 depending on age and impact on daily life.

Legal procedure in Benalmádena: steps and deadlines after a traffic accident

If you suffer a traffic accident in Benalmádena, the first step is to obtain the police report (which can be processed through the Local Police or the Local Police Station of Torremolinos-Benalmádena, based at C. Skal, 12, Torremolinos, phone 952 37 87 20). Once you have gathered the medical and police documentation, the out-of-court claim must be sent to the responsible insurance company, which has a legal period of three months to submit a reasoned offer. If the response is unsatisfactory or not received, the judicial claim is filed at the Court of Peace of Benalmádena, at Avda. Juan Luis Peralta, 39, 1º, postal code 29639. The deadline for taking civil action is one year from the stabilization of the injuries (not from the accident date). If there are indications of a crime (reckless driving, serious injuries, etc.), the criminal proceedings are handled by the courts of instruction in Torremolinos, but most claims for personal injury are resolved in the civil courts.
