Have you been involved in a traffic accident in Coslada? Legal matters related to road accidents in this municipality are handled by the Civil and Criminal Courts (Juzgados de Primera Instancia e Instrucción), located at Calle Colombia, 29 (28820 Coslada). This address is the main reference point for filing claims related to injuries and material damages resulting from traffic accidents in Coslada.
How much can I claim under the 2024 compensation scale?
The amount of compensation for a traffic accident is determined based on the severity of injuries, recovery time, and any lasting effects, according to the 2024 Spanish Traffic Compensation Scale (Baremo). For example:
- For cervicalgia (whiplash) with 45 days of sick leave, compensation may range between €3,200 and €4,500, depending on whether the days are disabling or not.
- A radius fracture with 60 days of recovery, of which 20 are disabling, could amount to approximately €5,000 – €6,000 according to the scale.
- For minor permanent injuries (such as limited mobility), additional compensation may range from €1,000 to €2,000 per disability point, depending on the victim's age and medical assessment.
The compensation scale is updated annually and includes specific provisions for moral damages, medical expenses, and loss of earnings. For an accurate assessment, medical reports and case documentation must be thoroughly reviewed.
What is the step-by-step process for claiming in Coslada?
The first step is to gather all medical documentation and the police report, which in Coslada is usually managed through the National Police Station at Calle Guadalquivir, 16. Next, an amicable claim is filed with the insurer, which has three months to provide a reasoned settlement offer. If the offer is insufficient or not received, a court claim can be filed at the Civil and Criminal Courts of Coslada (C/ Colombia, 29).
- Claim deadline: 1 year from the stabilization of injuries (medical discharge).
- Civil proceedings: For personal and material damages when there is no criminal offense.
- Criminal proceedings: If the accident involves serious negligence, DUI, or significant injuries. In such cases, the criminal complaint is filed at the same Coslada court.
The involvement of independent medical experts is essential to prove the actual severity of injuries and their impact on the victim’s daily life.
