Traffic accidents in Cerdanyola del Vallès: local information and legal steps

In Cerdanyola del Vallès, any judicial procedure related to traffic accidents must be handled at the courthouse located at Passeig d'Horta, 19 (08290).

2024 traffic compensation scale: specific figures and real examples

The 2024 traffic compensation scale sets out the criteria and amounts for compensating personal injuries resulting from accidents. For example, cervical sprain (whiplash) with 45 days of disability can be compensated with approximately €3,200 to €4,500, depending on severity and time off work. In cases of wrist fracture with 60 days of recovery and mild after-effects, compensation can exceed €6,000. For 30 days of total temporary disability, the scale sets €65.18 per day, totaling €1,955.40 just for the period of disability, with additional compensation for any resulting sequelae.

These specific amounts can be found in the 2024 Resolution of the Directorate-General for Insurance, which details the amounts for each type of injury and after-effect. These scales are mandatory for all claims filed in the Cerdanyola del Vallès courts.

How to claim compensation after an accident in Cerdanyola del Vallès?

The process begins by notifying your insurer, which has three months to make a reasoned offer. If the offer is unsatisfactory, or if this period passes without response, you may file a lawsuit at the First Instance and Investigating Courts of Cerdanyola del Vallès, Passeig d'Horta, 19. The time limit for filing a claim is one year from the date your injuries stabilize or you are medically discharged.

The civil route is most common for personal and material damage claims, while the criminal route is reserved for serious injuries or reckless behavior. In both cases, it is essential to provide medical reports, police statements, and all documentation proving the damages suffered.

In Cerdanyola del Vallès, claims are filed at the local courts, and if police reports or statements are needed, they can be requested at the city's National Police Station. For civil procedures, documentation is submitted at Passeig d'Horta, 19, which also houses the Civil Registry for matters related to incapacity or fatalities arising from the accident.
