Compensation according to the 2024 traffic compensation table: concrete examples
Law 35/2015 and its updated 2024 compensation table determine the amounts for injuries and aftereffects resulting from traffic accidents. For example, whiplash with 45 days of work leave is compensated with approximately €3,200 to €4,500, depending on the type of days affected (basic, moderate, severe). If the victim suffers a radius fracture with 60 days of recovery, including 20 days of moderate impairment (inability to perform usual tasks), compensation may amount to around €5,000-6,000. In cases of permanent aftereffects, for example, a mild functional limitation in an upper limb can result in compensation exceeding €10,000, depending on age and impact on daily life.
How to claim compensation for a traffic accident in Girona?
The process begins with an out-of-court claim to the responsible insurance company, which has a maximum period of three months to issue a reasoned offer. If the insurer does not respond or the offer is insufficient, the next step is to file the claim at the Courts of First Instance of Girona, located at Avda. Ramón Folch, 4-6, 17001 Girona. The deadline to file a civil action is one year from the stabilization of injuries (that is, from the moment the injury is definitive or the full extent of the aftereffects is known). In cases of injuries involving possible criminal offenses (driving under the influence, gross negligence), the criminal route may be opened, although most claims for minor or moderate injuries are resolved through the civil courts. It is essential to provide updated medical reports and, in case of disagreement with the insurer's report, to request an independent medical assessment.
