How to claim compensation for a road traffic accident

To bring a road traffic accident claim a specific procedure has to be followed: gathering evidence of the accident, going to hospital for medical attention and obtaining an injury report, notifying the accident to the insurer, having the loss assessed and, finally, reaching a compensation agreement with the other side or, where that is not possible, filing the claim with the civil court. And yes, we are well aware that all of this can be confusing when you do not have the knowledge it takes. Do not worry: we are entirely at your disposal.

Claims for injury and lasting injury

One fairly common consequence of road traffic accidents is physical injury. Sometimes those injuries are temporary, which means a reduced quality of life while they last and, at times, being unable or finding it difficult to do your job. On other, more unfortunate occasions, the injuries are permanent, and at that point we call them lasting injury. At Escalera & Tuset we look at all of this in depth so as to bring a claim in proportion. Call us.

Claiming for damage

Another consequence of road traffic accidents is property damage: the damage to the vehicle itself. If you did not have fully comprehensive cover and the accident was the other side's fault, it is worth preparing and bringing a claim in court for fair compensation to meet

the financial loss caused by the damage to the vehicle. A road traffic damage claim also lets you seek compensation for damage to other items inside the vehicle. Let us assess it together.

Compensation if you are knocked down

Have you been knocked down? You are entitled to compensation. Specifically, you can claim between 25% and 100% of the amount for the injury, depending on the degree of responsibility for the accident. Where, for example, responsibility is entirely shared, you will be entitled to 50% of the compensation. At Escalera & Tuset we will look at your case to determine the percentage you are entitled to and set in motion the mechanisms available to claim it.
