2024 Traffic Compensation Scale: Specific Figures
The amount of compensation for a traffic accident in 2024 is determined according to the current legal scale. For example, cervicalgia (whiplash) requiring 45 days off work is compensated with approximately €3,200 to €4,500, depending on the degree of basic and particular personal injury. If the victim suffers a wrist fracture with 60 days of temporary disability and lasting impairment, compensation can range from €5,500 to €8,000, depending on the severity and the victim's age. A lumbar sprain without permanent injury, with 30 days of basic harm, is typically compensated between €1,200 and €1,500. These amounts are updated annually and published in the Official State Gazette (BOE) by the Directorate General of Insurance and Pension Funds.
