In Córdoba, Avenida de Conde de Vallellano and Plaza de la Constitución are well-known hotspots for traffic accidents, especially at city entrances and high-traffic roads. According to data from the DGT and local reports, these areas often see rear-end collisions and accidents resulting in mild to moderate injuries, making them relevant locations for filing personal injury and property damage claims.
What compensation applies after a traffic accident in Córdoba under the 2024 compensation scale?
The assessment of personal injury in traffic accidents is governed by the state compensation scale, updated annually. In 2024, the daily compensation for basic personal injury is €35.71 per day; for moderate injury (sick leave), it rises to €61.89 per day; and for severe injury, €89.35 per day. For example:
- Mild whiplash with 30 days off work and 15 days of moderate impairment: 30 x €35.71 + 15 x €61.89 = €1,071.30 + €928.35 = €1,999.65
- Uncomplicated radius fracture with 60 days of sick leave, 30 of them moderate: 30 x €35.71 + 30 x €61.89 = €1,071.30 + €1,856.70 = €2,928
- Mild permanent injuries: each point of permanent injury is valued between €888.96 and €2,936.63 depending on the victim's age.
These amounts may increase in cases of permanent disability or aggravating circumstances, and should always be calculated using the current official tables.
Step-by-step process to claim your compensation after a traffic accident in Córdoba
The claims process in Córdoba follows the steps set out in Law 35/2015 and procedural regulations. After the accident:
- Gather medical documentation and the police report. In Córdoba, you can request copies at the Provincial Police Station of Córdoba (Avenida Doctor Fleming, 2, 14004) or at the Campo Madre de Dios, 11 station.
- Submit a prior claim to the liable party's insurer. The insurer has 3 months to issue a reasoned offer.

- The deadline to file the claim is 1 year from the stabilization of injuries (medical discharge).
- In cases of serious injury or reckless driving, criminal proceedings may be opened, but most personal injury claims are processed through the civil courts in Córdoba.
