Traffic accidents in Majadahonda: local context and relevant data

In Majadahonda, traffic accident claims are typically managed near Avenida de los Claveles, where the main judicial bodies of the city are located. Although the available evidence does not highlight a specific accident black spot, it is important to know that Avenida de los Claveles, 12 (28220 Majadahonda), is the address of the First Instance and Instruction Courts, where most traffic accident claims in the municipality are processed. The proximity of major access roads such as the M-503 and M-509 increases vehicle flow and, consequently, the likelihood of accidents, especially at city entry and exit points.

How much compensation can you claim? 2024 compensation tables and real examples

Compensation for injuries in a traffic accident is calculated according to the current legal table. In 2024, this table sets, for example:

  • For each day of basic personal injury: €35.71 per day.
  • For each day of moderate injury (sick leave): €61.89 per day.
  • For each day of serious injury (hospitalization): €89.35 per day.

Concrete examples according to the 2024 table:

  • A whiplash injury without sequelae, with 30 days off and 10 of them considered moderate: the approximate compensation would be €1,466 (20 days x €35.71 + 10 days x €61.89).
  • A fracture with 60 days of recovery, 15 of them serious and 20 moderate: compensation would be around €3,952 (25 x €35.71 + 20 x €61.89 + 15 x €89.35).
  • In the case of permanent sequelae, the table sets specific amounts per point depending on age and type of injury; for example, a sequela valued at 3 points for a 40-year-old person may amount to about €2,400 extra.

These amounts may increase with other concepts, such as moral damages, medical expenses or loss of income, always documented and justified.

Legal steps to claim compensation in Majadahonda

The usual process after a traffic accident in Majadahonda begins with an out-of-court claim to the liable insurer. The company has a maximum period of 3 months to issue a reasoned offer. If the compensation offered is inadequate or there is no response, you can go to court.

In Majadahonda, judicial claims for traffic accidents are filed at the First Instance and Instruction Courts, located at Avenida de los Claveles, 12, 28220 Majadahonda. The general deadline to file a lawsuit is 1 year from the stabilization of injuries (when medical treatment ends). Depending on the seriousness of the facts, the claim can be processed through the civil route (damages) or, if there are indications of a crime (e.g., drunk driving, serious injuries), through the criminal route. In this case, the procedure is initiated in the same instruction court.

It is essential to gather medical reports, police reports (the National Police in Majadahonda is located at Ctra. Villanueva del Pardillo, 3), and all documentation proving the damages suffered. If you disagree with the insurer's medical assessment, you can request an independent expert report.
