Traffic accidents


If you´ve been involved in a car accident in Spain, please note that you are entitled to claim compensation for personal and economic damages, regardless of the type of injury you have, be it whiplash, head trauma or aesthetic damage.

You can claim compensation if you find yourself in one of the following scenarios:

  • If you are the driver of the vehicle and the person who caused the accident was driving another vehicle.
  • If you were a passenger inside the vehicle which was involved in the accident.
  • If the accident took place in a public transport and you were a passenger.
  • If you were hit by a car while walking along a crosswalk or crossing the road on a green light.
  • If you as a pedestrian crossed the road where crossing is prohibited, there may be division of fault, provided it can be proved that the driver was not careful and did not take the necessary precautions.

When proceeding with the claim, you can choose whether you want your insurer to continue with the matter or hire experts who specialize in obtaining high accident compensation:

  • If you wish your insurer to proceed with the case, the compensation that you will get will be decided by them accordingly.
  • You can also opt for a more objective assessment according to incurred injuries and other damages. In this scenario, we would advise you to contact our specialists to assess your situation and claim the highest compensation possible.

It is important to keep in mind that insurance covers the cost of legal fees. So if you do decide to choose to hire an attorney, the recommended procedure is as follows:

After the accident, it is essential to see a doctor as soon as possible. Once you have been examined by the doctor and given the form confirming your visit to emergency room, you should give it to your attorney along with the accident report, the names of witnesses and all documentation related to the accident to speed up the whole process. In this way, you can manage your compensation request as soon as possible, informing the accident to your insurance company within the legal deadline.

If you find yourself in one of the above situations, we suggest that you put your case in the hands of an experienced lawyer who will look after your interests and make sure that you claim the compensation you deserve.
