Compensation according to the 2024 traffic scale: concrete figures
The 2024 traffic compensation scale sets specific amounts for victims, depending on the severity of injuries and the recovery period. For example, a cervical sprain (whiplash) with 45 days of sick leave is compensated with €3,200 to €4,500, depending on whether the days are disabling or not. A mild traumatic brain injury with 60 days of recovery and a minor sequela can result in total compensation of €5,000 to €7,000. In the case of a radius fracture with 90 days off work and lasting functional sequelae, the amount can exceed €12,000. These amounts are indicative and depend on the medical assessment and expert report.
Procedure for claiming compensation in Manresa: key steps and deadlines
The first step after an accident is to attend a medical center to document the injuries. Next, the incident must be reported to the insurance company, requesting a damage assessment. The insurer has a three-month period to make a reasoned compensation offer. If the offer is unsatisfactory or the insurer does not respond, a claim can be filed at the Courts of First Instance and Instruction of Manresa, located at Carrer Arbonés, 29-39. It is important to remember that the deadline for judicial claims is one year from the stabilization of injuries (medical discharge or consolidation of sequelae). Depending on whether the injuries could constitute a criminal offense, the claim may proceed via civil or criminal channels. Due to recent reforms in the Penal Code, most claims for minor injuries are now processed through civil proceedings.
