Addressing a Traffic Accident in Sabadell: Local Reference and Real Context

In Sabadell, Avenida Francesc Macià is a central axis where both the courts and administrative services related to traffic accidents are located. Civil and criminal claims arising from accidents, as well as the Civil Registry, are processed at Avda. Francesc Macià, 34-36 - Torre 1, Eix Macià, 08208, Sabadell, according to official directories of the General Council of the Judiciary. This location centralizes the city's judicial activity and is the reference point for those affected by traffic accidents who need to initiate legal or expert procedures after a collision.

Compensation for Accidents in Sabadell According to the 2024 Table: Real Figures

The amount of compensation after a traffic accident in Sabadell is calculated according to the 2024 personal injury compensation table. 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 days of impairment. In the case of a radius fracture requiring surgery and 60 days off work, the compensation may reach €7,000 - €9,000. For permanent sequelae, such as moderate functional limitation of an upper limb, the table sets amounts ranging from €15,000 to €22,000, depending on the victim's age and impact on work and personal life. These figures are indicative and must be adjusted to each specific case, always with an up-to-date medical report.

Filing Claims in Sabadell: Legal Steps and Competent Bodies

The process for claiming after a traffic accident in Sabadell generally begins with submitting medical documentation, police reports, and the accident report to the insurance company, which has three months to issue a reasoned settlement offer. If the offer is unsatisfactory, judicial proceedings may follow. In Sabadell, jurisdiction lies with the Court of First Instance, located at Avda. Francesc Macià, 34-36 - Torre 1, Eix Macià. The deadline to file a civil lawsuit is one year from the stabilization of injuries. In cases involving possible criminal offenses (reckless injury, failure to assist), the complaint must be filed at the same court and can lead to criminal proceedings, where a lawyer is not initially required but is necessary in later stages. It is essential to keep all documentation and seek independent medical expert reports to substantiate the actual damage.
