Who is responsible for traffic accident compensation?
If I have a traffic accident, who is at fault? This is a common question for anyone involved in an accident. According to Article 1902 of the Civil Code:
“Anyone who by action or omission causes harm to another, involving fault or negligence, is obliged to repair the damage caused.”
At this point, we must determine who is responsible for the traffic accident. To do this, we can use several key elements such as the “accident report”, the “insurance company’s expert report ” or the “police report”
With these documents, we can establish an investigation to determine who was at fault and who should be held responsible for compensation.
Once responsibility is established, it must be determined whether the insurance company or the at-fault driver must pay the compensation.
In some cases, the insurance company is not responsible for the compensation, and it falls to the driver, such as if the driver was under the influence of substances at the time. This information must be included in the police report to be valid.
Injuries that may be compensated in a traffic accident
Traffic accident injuries are assessed using the compensation scale that came into force on January 1, 2016.
This scale specifies the injuries and aftereffects that are eligible for compensation.
To calculate how much a person is entitled to, they must have a medical injury report provided by a specialized medical team, or a forensic report in the case of death. The amount of compensation depends on the severity of the injuries.
The scale assigns a score to injuries and aftereffects, and based on that score, the amount of compensation is determined.
That’s why it’s very important to hire a lawyer specialized in traffic accidents who can guide and advise you on the compensation you may be entitled to.
Calculation of compensation for car accidents
The assessment and calculation of compensation from traffic accidents is not an easy task and should not be done without prior review by a specialized medical team responsible for evaluating injuries from a car accident.
Financial compensation is calculated using the traffic accident compensation scale which has been in effect since January 1, 2016.
All compensation—whether for death, long-term effects, or temporary injuries—may vary depending on the case.
That’s why it’s very important to hire a lawyer specialized in traffic accidents who can guide and advise you on the amount you may be entitled to.
Who is entitled to compensation in a traffic accident?
After a traffic accident , a common question is: who is entitled to compensation? The answer is clear: the person affected by the accident.
According to the compensation scale, if other individuals with a relationship to the situation—such as relatives or dependents—are also affected, they may also be entitled to compensation.
The scale defines five types of eligible individuals: “Spouse”, “Descendants”, “Ascendants”, “Siblings” and “Close relatives” . Each of these may be compensated if involved in a traffic accident.
However, each case must be analyzed individually, as not all situations qualify for traffic accident compensation.
Calculation of traffic accident compensation
The compensation scale, approved by Law 35/2015 of September 22nd, reformed the system for assessing damages caused to people in traffic accidents. It applies only to accidents occurring after January 1, 2016.
This reform aims to provide greater protection to victims in cases of traffic accident compensation.
It includes not only physical injuries but also material damages caused by the accident.
One key measure introduced is to increase compensation amounts for traffic accidents: 50% for death, 35% for long-term effects, and 12.8% for temporary injuries.
