How much compensation can you claim for a traffic accident in 2024? Real examples based on the official scale
The 2024 Traffic Compensation Scale sets specific amounts for injury and sequelae compensation. For example, a person suffering from cervicalgia (whiplash) with 45 days off work may receive between €3,200 and €4,500, depending on severity and lasting effects. For a radius fracture with 60 days of recovery, compensation can range from €5,000 to €7,000. For temporary incapacity, the scale distinguishes between basic personal injury days (€32.91/day), moderate injury days (€57.04/day), and severe injury days (€82.29/day). For instance, an accident resulting in 15 basic injury days and 10 severe days amounts to a base compensation of €1,146.15 plus any sequelae. These amounts may increase if there are aggravating factors or documented medical expenses.
How to file a compensation claim after an accident in Mataró? Step by step
If you have suffered a traffic accident in Mataró, the legal procedure to claim compensation begins by notifying the insurance company, which has three months to make a reasoned offer. If the offer is insufficient or you receive no response, you can proceed with a lawsuit. In Mataró, civil claims are filed at the Judicial Building at Plaça Francisco Tomás y Valiente, s/n, 08302. The general deadline to claim is one year from the stabilization of your injuries. If the accident resulted in injuries that may constitute a crime (such as the other driver being intoxicated), a criminal proceeding may also be initiated at the courts of instruction at the same location. It is essential to keep all medical and material damage documentation, as it will be required during the process.
