Specific figures from the 2024 compensation table: How much can you claim?
The 2024 traffic compensation table establishes the indemnity amounts for injuries and personal damages in traffic accidents. For example, a whiplash injury with 45 days off work is usually compensated with between €3,200 and €4,500, depending on whether the days are disabling or not. A humerus fracture with 60 days off and a 15-point sequela can amount to around €16,000 to €18,000. In the case of 30 non-disabling days, the amount is approximately €1,050. These figures are approximate and must be adjusted to each specific case according to medical assessment and real impact.
