Traffic accidents in Collado Villalba: local context and key roads
In Collado Villalba, traffic accidents are often linked to the main access and exit routes of the municipality, such as the M-601 and its connection with the A-6, which handle a high volume of daily traffic between the Sierra and Madrid. Busy roundabouts, like the one near the train station, are frequent sites for minor accidents and rear-end collisions, especially during rush hour. If you have been injured at one of these locations, it is essential to understand your rights and the legal steps to follow in Collado Villalba.
Compensation according to the 2024 traffic compensation scale: real figures
The 2024 traffic compensation scale sets specific amounts for each type of injury and damage suffered in an accident. For example, a whiplash injury requiring 45 days off work is currently compensated with approximately €3,200 to €4,500, depending on the degree of incapacity and any lasting effects. A simple radius fracture with 60 days of recovery can amount to around €5,200, while 30 days off work due to a lumbar sprain without sequelae is around €2,300. The scale also includes compensation for days of total incapacity (from €65.18/day), partial incapacity (€39.03/day), and physical or psychological sequelae, all assessed individually according to official tables. These amounts do not include property damage or loss of earnings, which can also be claimed.
Claiming compensation in Collado Villalba: steps and procedures
The process for claiming compensation after a traffic accident in Collado Villalba begins with notifying the responsible insurance company, which has three months to provide a reasoned offer. If the proposal is unsatisfactory or no response is received, the next step is a judicial claim. In Collado Villalba, the lawsuit is filed at the First Instance and Examining Courts located at Calle Virgen de la Cabeza, s/n, 28400 Collado Villalba. The deadline for civil legal action is one year from the stabilization of injuries, not from the date of the accident. If there is evidence of a crime (such as reckless driving or drunk driving), the criminal route may be appropriate and is also handled at the same court. It is important to collect medical reports, police reports, and documentation of property damage to substantiate all suffered harm.
