Granollers and traffic accidents: concrete facts
In Granollers, the intersection of major roads such as the C-17 and AP-7, as well as urban traffic on streets like Josep Umbert, increase the risk of traffic accidents, especially at the entrances to the city center and near industrial areas. Although the SERP evidence does not provide local accident statistics, it is common for accidents in these areas to lead to legal claims in the city's courts, located at Josep Umbert Street, 124 (08402 Granollers).
How much compensation can you actually receive for a traffic accident in Granollers? Real examples from the 2024 compensation tables
The 2024 Spanish Traffic Compensation Tables (Baremo) establish very specific amounts depending on the type of injury and days of incapacity. For example:
- A cervical sprain (whiplash) with 45 days of disability can result in compensation between €3,200 and €4,500, depending on severity and sequelae.
- A fractured radius with 60 days off work and 20 days of hospitalization may be compensated in the range of €7,000 to €10,000.
- Permanent sequelae, such as functional limitation of the knee, may be compensated from €4,000 upwards, depending on the points assigned and the victim's age.
Calculation involves adding the daily amount (per basic, moderate, serious, or very serious harm) and, where applicable, the points for sequelae. In 2024, basic harm is set at €35.71/day, moderate at €61.89/day, and serious at €89.35/day. Patrimonial damages (medical expenses, travel, loss of income) are added separately and must be documented.
What is the step-by-step claims process for a traffic accident in Granollers?
After an accident in Granollers, the first step is an out-of-court claim to the insurance company, which has three months to issue a reasoned offer. If the response is unsatisfactory or the deadline passes without agreement, the judicial claim must be filed with the Courts of First Instance in Granollers, located at Josep Umbert Street, 124 (08402). The deadline to claim is one year from the stabilization of injuries, according to Article 1968 of the Spanish Civil Code.
The civil route is standard when there are only material damages or minor injuries. In cases of serious injuries or criminal offenses, the criminal route may be opened, but compensation is still processed according to the Baremo. It is advisable to document all injuries, medical reports, and related expenses from the outset.
