Traffic accidents in León: specific facts and claim procedures
In León, Avenida Ingeniero Sáenz de Miera is not only a reference point for judicial procedures but also due to its proximity to some of the city's main access roads, where notable traffic accidents have occurred in recent years according to local police reports. While the available evidence does not indicate a specific black spot, it is clear that claims for accidents in this area are processed at the courthouse located at Avenida Ingeniero Sáenz de Miera, 6, 24009 León.
Compensation for traffic accidents in León under the 2024 compensation scale
The 2024 traffic compensation scale, applicable throughout Spain, sets out specific figures for the compensation of injuries and damages in road accidents. For instance, a post-traumatic cervicalgia (whiplash) with 45 days of medical leave can result in compensation of between €3,200 and €4,500, depending on the degree of basic and particular personal injury. If the victim suffers a radius fracture with 60 days of temporary incapacity, the compensation may reach €6,500 or more, depending on the permanent aftereffects and the impact on working life. In severe cases, such as spinal cord injury, amounts can exceed €200,000, taking into account permanent damage and the need for third-party assistance.
These amounts are calculated according to articles 134 et seq. of Law 35/2015, considering both the days of injury and the sequelae. The scale distinguishes between basic personal injury (€32.91/day in 2024), moderate injury (€57.04/day), severe (€82.29/day), and very severe (€110.42/day), in addition to compensation for physical and psychological sequelae.
Procedure to claim compensation for accidents in León
If you have suffered a traffic accident in León, the first step is to gather all medical documentation and the amicable report or police statement. The out-of-court claim must be submitted to the responsible insurer, which has 3 months to issue a reasoned offer. If the response is insufficient or no reply is received, judicial action may be taken.
In León, civil claims for injuries resulting from traffic accidents are filed at the Civil Courts of First Instance located at Avda. del Ingeniero Sáenz de Miera, 6, 24009 León. The deadline to file a civil action is 1 year from the stabilization of injuries or from the date of the reasoned offer. If the injuries may constitute a crime, criminal proceedings are initiated in the same judicial building.
The procedure usually requires an independent medical expert report to prove the extent of the injuries. In León, access to independent experts is essential for the proper assessment of bodily harm.
