Traffic accidents in Terrassa: how to act and claim fair compensation

In Terrassa, Rambleta Pare Alegre is not only known for housing the city's main judicial bodies but is also one of the most heavily trafficked streets in the municipality. Every day, this urban artery sees intense vehicle flow, increasing the risk of accidents, especially at the intersections near the courts and the Civil Registry located at number 112. Additionally, the presence of the National Police station at Carrer de Baldrich, 9 streamlines the processing of police reports in the event of an accident. If you have suffered an accident in these areas or anywhere else in Terrassa, it is essential to know your rights and the specific legal procedures applicable locally.

Compensation according to the 2024 Traffic Compensation Table: concrete figures

The 2024 Traffic Compensation Table sets the indemnity amounts for injuries and damages resulting from road accidents. For example, a post-traumatic cervical strain with 45 days of medical leave is compensated with approximately €3,200 to €4,500, depending on severity and functional limitation. A mild lumbar sprain with minor aftereffects can be compensated between €2,000 and €2,800. In the case of a radius fracture requiring surgery and 60 days of recovery, compensation can exceed €6,000 according to the current table. These amounts include both the days of disability and any permanent effects or moral damages, as long as they are duly accredited by independent expert reports.

Legal procedure in Terrassa: filing a claim and deadlines

After an accident in Terrassa, the first step is to file a claim with the responsible insurer, which has three months to make a reasoned offer. If the response is unsatisfactory or not made, judicial proceedings are initiated at the Terrassa Courts of First Instance, located at Rb. Pare Alegre, 112 (CP 08224). The deadline for civil action is one year from the stabilization of injuries, according to Article 1968 of the Spanish Civil Code. In cases of injuries with possible criminal implications, the complaint can be filed at the same judicial address or at the National Police station (Carrer de Baldrich, 9), thus opening the criminal route. It is essential to gather all medical documentation, police reports, and expert evidence before starting any extrajudicial or judicial procedure.
