Traffic accidents in Telde: key information and legal steps after a collision
In Telde, legal proceedings related to traffic accidents are mainly handled by the Courts of First Instance located at Calle Párroco Hernández Benítez, 10 (35200 Telde).

Compensation according to the 2024 Traffic Scale: real figures
The 2024 Traffic Compensation Scale (Baremo) sets out the specific amounts for injuries and after-effects resulting from traffic accidents. For example, cervicalgia (whiplash) with 45 days of medical leave is compensated with approximately €3,200 to €4,500, depending on the severity and the type of days (impairing or non-impairing). A minor trauma with 30 days of basic personal injury and 10 moderate days may result in a compensation of about €2,100. In cases of permanent sequelae, such as moderate functional limitation of a limb, the Scale contemplates amounts exceeding €10,000, depending on age and daily life impact. These amounts are indicative and may vary depending on medical reports and expert assessments, which are essential to defend your rights.
Claim process in Telde: specific steps and legal deadlines
The process to claim compensation for a traffic accident in Telde usually begins with submitting a prior claim to the insurance company, which has a period of three months to issue a reasoned offer. If the response is unsatisfactory or if the company does not reply, the next step is to go to the Courts of First Instance of Telde at Calle Párroco Hernández Benítez, 10. The legal deadline to file a lawsuit is one year from the date your injuries are stabilized, not from the accident date. It is important to distinguish between civil proceedings (for damages and injuries) and criminal proceedings (when there are indications of a crime, such as serious injuries or reckless behavior), although most claims are resolved in the civil courts. Required documentation includes a medical injury report, police report if available, medical records, and proof of expenses.
