2024 traffic compensation scale: specific figures for common injuries
The 2024 traffic compensation scale (baremo) determines the amounts based on the severity of injuries and days off work.

If there are 15 days of moderate personal harm (€58.41/day), this adds about €876, totaling around €2,136.

In cases of severe injuries with lasting consequences, compensation can exceed €20,000, depending on age and the type of functional limitation recognized.
