Compensation under the 2024 traffic scale: Concrete examples
The 2024 traffic compensation scale establishes specific amounts based on the type and severity of injuries. For instance, post-traumatic cervicalgia (whiplash) with 45 days of medical leave is compensated at approximately €3,200 to €4,500, depending on the impact on daily life and the length of the leave. A lumbar sprain involving 30 days of basic personal harm and 10 days of moderate particular harm is typically compensated at around €1,800 to €2,400. In cases of prolonged temporary incapacity, such as a humerus fracture with 90 days off work and mild permanent effects, compensation may exceed €7,500. These amounts are calculated according to the latest compensation tables and may vary based on independent medical reports and supporting documentation.
Claim process in Gandia: Deadlines, steps, and competent authorities
After a traffic accident in Gandia, the first step is to obtain a medical injury report and gather all relevant medical and property damage documentation. The out-of-court claim must be addressed to the responsible insurance company, which has a legal period of 3 months to provide a reasoned compensation offer. If the response is unsatisfactory or the offer is insufficient, a lawsuit can be filed with the Court of First Instance of Gandia, located at C/ Ciutat de Laval, 1, 46700 Gandia. The deadline for judicial claims is 1 year from the medical stabilization of injuries, in accordance with article 1968 of the Spanish Civil Code. If there are indications of a criminal offence (such as driving under the influence), the complaint will be processed through the criminal route at the Instruction Section of the Court of Instance of Gandia (C/ Montdúver, 62). It is essential not to exhaust the deadline and to properly assess injuries with independent expert reports.
