In Fuenlabrada, the handling of traffic accident claims has a key local aspect: all judicial claims, whether civil or criminal, are filed at the Courts located at Calle Rumanía, 2 (28943 Fuenlabrada), as confirmed by the official Tribunal de Instancia. This building houses both the Civil and Criminal Sections, streamlining the management of road traffic cases in the city.
Compensation under the 2024 Traffic Compensation Table: concrete examples
The amount of compensation for a traffic accident in Fuenlabrada is determined according to the 2024 Legal Compensation Table, published in the BOE and mandatory throughout Spain. For example:
- For a cervical sprain (whiplash) with 45 days off work and 10 days of restricted activity, compensation may range from €3,200 to €4,500, depending on severity and any lasting effects.
- In cases of a wrist fracture requiring surgery, 60 days of recovery, and a moderate residual impairment, the amount may exceed €7,000 for personal injury alone.
- If there is an absolute temporary incapacity for 30 days, the table sets daily compensation at €65.02/day (2024), plus basic personal injury days (€35.84/day).
These figures are guidelines and must be adjusted to each individual case, considering sequelae, specific damages, and material losses.
How is a traffic accident claim processed in Fuenlabrada?
The process begins with an out-of-court claim to the responsible insurance company, which has three months to provide a reasoned compensation offer. If the response is unsatisfactory or not received within this period, you may proceed to court.
In Fuenlabrada, civil or criminal claims are filed at the Courts of Calle Rumanía, 2. The deadline to claim is one year from the stabilization of injuries, meaning from the date of final medical discharge. Missing this deadline will result in losing your right to compensation.
- The criminal route is used if there are signs of a crime (e.g., serious injuries or driving under the influence).
- The civil route is most common for claims involving personal and material damages without a criminal offense.
The claimant must provide a medical report, police report if available (which can be requested at the Fuenlabrada National Police Station, Avda. de los Ángeles, 9), and any other relevant evidence.
