Traffic accident compensation in 2024: specific figures

A victim suffering a fractured radius requiring 60 days off work could receive between €5,000 and €7,500. For serious injuries with permanent sequelae, such as partial loss of mobility, the baremo provides for amounts exceeding €25,000, depending on the victim’s age and functional impact. Additionally, days of particular personal damage (hospitalization, ICU, etc.) are compensated at higher rates, starting at €78.31 per day in 2024.
