Compensation according to the 2024 traffic scale: concrete examples
The current 2024 traffic compensation scale sets specific amounts based on the type of injury, duration of disability, and any permanent effects. For example:
- For a cervical sprain (whiplash) with 45 days off work (30 days with total incapacity and 15 with partial incapacity), compensation ranges from €3,200 to €4,500, depending on the presence of permanent effects.
- A radius fracture requiring surgery and 90 days off work can result in compensation between €6,000 and €9,000, including disability days and possible functional sequelae.
- For minor injuries without time off work (only discomfort days), the scale sets a daily amount of €35.71 per non-disabling day, while disabling days are compensated at €61.75 per day.
These amounts may increase if there are permanent effects or special circumstances, such as aesthetic damage or loss of quality of life, which are assessed individually.
Step-by-step procedure after a traffic accident in San Sebastián de los Reyes
The process for claiming personal or material damages after a traffic accident in San Sebastián de los Reyes starts with obtaining the police report, which you can request at the local station or, if necessary, at the National Police Station of Alcobendas-San Sebastián de los Reyes. Once all medical documents and the accident report are gathered, an out-of-court claim must be submitted to the responsible insurer, which has 3 months to issue a reasoned compensation offer.
If the insurer's response is unsatisfactory or the deadline passes without a reply, you may file a lawsuit at the Juzgado de Paz de San Sebastián de los Reyes (C/ Agustín y Antonia, 5). For claims exceeding a certain amount, jurisdiction usually shifts to the Civil Courts of Alcobendas (C/ Joaquín Rodrigo, 3, 28100 Alcobendas). The statute of limitations for judicial claims is 1 year from the stabilization of injuries or medical discharge. If the accident involves serious injuries or evidence of a crime (such as drunk driving), criminal proceedings may be appropriate initially, although most claims are processed through civil courts.
