How much compensation for a traffic accident in 2024? Real examples
The 2024 traffic compensation scale (baremo), regulated by Law 35/2015, sets out indicative amounts for bodily injury from road accidents. For example, a simple cervical sprain (whiplash) with 30 days of basic personal injury and 15 days of moderate injury may result in compensation of between €2,250 and €3,000 (30 days x €37.06 + 15 days x €64.25). A lumbar sprain with 45 days off work could exceed €3,200, while a radius fracture with 60 days of recovery and minor sequelae could result in €4,500 to €6,000, depending on the degree of permanent limitation. If there are permanent sequelae, each point is valued between €1,300 and €4,000 depending on the victim's age. These amounts are guidelines and always require individual medical assessment.
