Compensation according to the 2024 traffic compensation table: specific figures
Law 35/2015 and its updated 2024 compensation table set out the amounts for injuries and personal damages in traffic accidents. For example, a cervical sprain (whiplash) with 45 days of medical leave is compensated with between €3,200 and €4,500, depending on severity and type of sequelae. If a radius fracture results in 60 days of temporary incapacity, compensation can exceed €6,000. In cases of severe injuries with permanent sequelae, the compensation table provides for amounts above €30,000, considering factors such as age, aesthetic damage, and loss of quality of life.
Furthermore, the 2024 table distinguishes between basic personal harm days (€35.71/day), moderate particular harm days (€61.89/day), and severe (€89.35/day). For example, a 30-day leave for moderate injuries is compensated with approximately €1,856.70 for this concept alone, in addition to possible sequelae.
What steps should you take after a traffic accident in Reus?
The first step after an accident is to notify your insurance company, which then has three months to issue a reasoned compensation offer. If the offer is insufficient or there is no response, you may file a civil lawsuit at the Reus Court of First Instance, located at Avda. Marià Fortuny, 73. The deadline to claim in court is one year from the stabilization of your injuries, according to article 1968.2º of the Civil Code.
If there are indications of a crime (such as driving under the influence), the claim can be initiated through the criminal courts at the Criminal Section of the Reus Court of Instance, also at Avda. Marià Fortuny, 73. The main difference between civil and criminal proceedings lies in the nature of the facts and the legal consequences. In both cases, it is essential to gather all medical documentation, police reports, and expert evidence to prove the causal relationship between the accident and the injuries.
