Compensation according to the 2024 scale: specific examples
The 2024 traffic compensation scale regulates amounts for injuries and damages resulting from traffic accidents. For example, post-traumatic cervical sprain with 45 days of temporary incapacity is compensated at approximately €3,200 to €4,500, depending on the severity and days off work. A radius fracture without sequelae requiring 60 days of recovery may be compensated with around €5,000-6,000. In the case of a shoulder dislocation with mild sequelae, the amount ranges from €6,000 to €8,500, depending on the degree of functional limitation. These amounts are calculated according to the criteria for basic personal injury (35.71 €/day in 2024), moderate particular injury (61.89 €/day), serious (89.35 €/day), and very serious (119.02 €/day), in addition to any physical or psychological sequelae rated in points.
