In Cádiz, traffic accidents on roads such as Avenida Andalucía — where the Provincial Police Station is located (Avenida Andalucía, 28, 11008 Cádiz) — result in numerous police interventions and legal claims each year. Accidents on this main urban road often involve rear-end collisions and pedestrian incidents, requiring very specific legal management in the city. Claims arising from traffic accidents in Cádiz are processed at the courts situated at Calle Los Balbos, s/n, 11009 Cádiz, home to the Civil Section of the Court of First Instance.
What compensation applies according to the 2024 traffic scale?
The 2024 traffic compensation scale (baremo) sets out specific amounts based on the type and severity of injuries. For example:
- A whiplash injury (cervical sprain) with 45 days of sick leave may entitle you to compensation of between €3,200 and €4,500, depending on the classification of basic and particular personal injury.
- For a radius fracture with 60 days of recovery and 20 days of impairment, compensation may be around €5,800 - €7,100.
- For a total temporary incapacity lasting 90 days, the amount may exceed €7,500 under the current tables.
These figures are indicative and must be adjusted to each specific case, taking into account medical reports and the evolution of the injuries.
