Traffic accidents in Huelva: real data and local hotspots

In Huelva, one of the areas with the highest concentration of road accidents is Calle Alameda Sundheim, home to the main courts and Civil Registry, according to official directories. This street, characterized by heavy urban traffic and access to public services, is a frequent scene of minor accidents and rear-end collisions, especially at intersections near the courts and the provincial police station. The high flow of vehicles and pedestrians in this area makes Alameda Sundheim a key location where victim care and claims processing are particularly relevant.

How much compensation can you expect after an accident in Huelva according to the 2024 scale?

The 2024 traffic compensation scale sets specific amounts based on injury type and medical leave duration. For example, a whiplash injury with 45 days of basic personal harm is compensated with approximately €3,600 (80 €/day x 45 days), with potential increases if moderate harm days apply (an additional 60 €/day). A fractured radius with 60 days off work and 10 days of hospitalization can exceed €8,000, adding up basic, moderate, hospitalization, and potential sequelae amounts. For minor injuries without work leave but requiring treatment, compensation may range between €1,000 and €2,000, depending on severity and follow-up days. These amounts always follow the updated compensation scale and may vary depending on the accident's specific circumstances.

Step-by-step claim process for accidents in Huelva: where and when

The first step after an accident in Huelva is to obtain a medical injury report and, if appropriate, file a complaint at the Provincial Police Station (Paseo de la Glorieta, 2, 21002 Huelva) or at the Avenida de Italia Police Station, s/n, 21003 Huelva. The out-of-court claim must be submitted to the responsible insurance company, which has three months to make a reasoned offer. If there is no agreement or the offer is insufficient, the judicial claim is filed at the Civil Section of the Court of First Instance of Huelva, located at Calle Alameda Sundheim, 17, 21003 Huelva. The deadline for exercising the civil action is one year from the stabilization of the injuries. In cases of serious injuries or indications of a crime (such as drunk driving or reckless driving), the criminal route may be appropriate, processed at the investigating courts at the same address. The choice between civil and criminal routes depends on the severity of the facts and the existence of criminal liability.
