Traffic accidents in Las Rozas de Madrid: local reality and legal framework
In Las Rozas de Madrid, traffic around areas such as Cuesta de San Francisco—where the Municipal Judicial Office and the Justice of the Peace Court are located—as well as access points to the A-6 and M-505, has been the scene of various road accidents.

How much compensation is awarded for a traffic accident in 2024?
The 2024 Traffic Compensation Table (Baremo) regulates the amounts awarded to accident victims. For example:
- Simple cervicalgia (whiplash) with 45 days off work: between €3,200 and €4,500, depending on severity and sequelae.
- Radius fracture with 60 days off work and mild permanent injury: approximately €6,000 - €7,800, depending on the degree of functional limitation.
- Loss of earnings (emerging damage): for a net monthly salary of €1,500, the scale allows for full claim of lost wages, in addition to duly justified medical expenses.
Compensation varies according to the number of days of temporary disability, permanent injuries, and specific personal damage (for example, hospitalization: €86.82/day in 2024). The calculation must be made on a case-by-case basis, based on expert reports and the medical documentation provided.
Steps to claim after a traffic accident in Las Rozas de Madrid
- Immediate medical care and obtaining a medical injury report from the hospital or health center.
- Notify your insurance company of the accident within a maximum of 7 days.
- The insurer has 3 months to issue a reasoned compensation offer.
- If the offer is insufficient or no response is received, a judicial claim can be filed at the Court of First Instance and Instruction of Majadahonda, which has jurisdiction over Las Rozas de Madrid. Proceedings can also be handled at the Municipal Judicial Office (Cuesta de San Francisco, 16, 28231 Las Rozas de Madrid; Tel. 916 37 07 06).
- The deadline for judicial claims is 1 year from the stabilization of the injuries (final medical discharge).
