What kind of damages can be claimed?<\/p>\n
We can claim 3 types of damages: basic, private and patrimonial:<\/p>\n
BASIC PERSONAL INJURY<\/strong><\/p>\nBasic personal injury is the valuation of basic personal damage, that is, minimum damages typical of an accident, which include:<\/p>\n
\n- Temporary injuries (hospital days, days off work, in rehabilitation or healing) and the sequelae that may remain after an accident. This damage is estimated on the basis of fixed amounts according to law.<\/li>\n
- In case of death, there are 5 separate categories of injured parties: the widowed spouse, ascendants, descendants, siblings and relatives who are entitled to fixed compensation amounts according to legal parameters.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
PRIVATE PERSONAL INJURY<\/strong><\/p>\nWhat compensation do you get for private personal injury?<\/strong> In the case of personal injury, specific or particular damages that an injured or affected person may sustain in an accident are compensated, in the event of death or serious injury.<\/p>\nImpediments or limitations to autonomy or personal development involving moderate, severe or very serious temporary losses are compensated.<\/p>\n
An example would be the case of a construction worker who sustains a serious impairment of his dominant arm that prevents him from working, compared to an administrative officer who with the same injury could continue to work; it is a serious personal injury that must be expressly valued. Like a bicycle enthusiast who has to stop riding because of sequelae from an accident, for him\/her, the accident has caused him\/her a particular serious injury, which will have to be compensated.<\/p>\n
\n- Loss is defined as physical, intellectual, sensory or organic impairment to perform activities as an individual or member of the community, or limitations in essential activities of ordinary life.<\/li>\n
- Compensation consists of increases in basic compensation through specific criteria.<\/li>\n
- Supplementary moral compensation for psychophysical, organic and sensory damage is included and is compensated by means of a range that establishes a minimum and maximum amount.<\/li>\n
- Particular damages<\/strong> are cumulative if they occur in the same injured party and are not mutually exclusive.<\/li>\n
- In case of death<\/strong>, this compensation is given for the distress caused to relatives.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
PECUNIARY DAMAGE<\/strong><\/p>\nThe scale also includes compensation for property damage, recognising the expenses caused by the accident or emerging damage and future economic damages or loss of earnings.<\/p>\n
All expenses (medical, travel, maintenance, burial, etc.) and in general all expenses that the injuries cause in the life of the injured person and\/or family members may be claimed.<\/p>\n
In addition, it is also necessary to claim loss of earnings (earnings that will be lost or lost or decrease in income) of the injured or deceased for relatives.<\/div><\/div><\/div>

The injured are classified into five separate categories: spouse, ascendants, descendants, siblings and relatives. It considers that they always suffer compensable damage and of the same amount, regardless of whether or not they belong to other categories of injured parties.<\/p>\nCases of sequelae or permanent injuries:<\/strong> greater compensation for greatly injured person(s) who are left with disabilities that require intense support for their personal autonomy, compensating in any case loss of earnings and emerging damages. In addition, the medical scale of sequelae is reviewed to adapt it to current medical knowledge.<\/p>\nCases of temporary injuries:<\/strong> these are compensated depending on the type of impediment they cause, including any proven economic damage, and the possibility of temporary sequelae and compensation is recognised. In addition, all expenses generated by the injuries are compensated, such as, for example, increase in mobility costs for the injured party, the travel of relatives caring for him\/her, expenses to attend to minors or especially vulnerable relatives of those who were cared for by the injured party, etc.<\/p>\nIncrease in compensation for road traffic accidents:<\/strong>
