Frequently asked questions about traffic accidents
Do I have a deadline for submitting the accident report to the insurance company?
Do I have a deadline for submitting the accident report to the insurance company?
Yes, it must be submitted to the insurer within a maximum of 7 days from the date of the accident, unless the policy establishes a longer period.
If the driver responsible tested positive for alcohol, is my compensation at risk? What if the other party does not have insurance?
If the other party does not have insurance, the compensation will be covered by the Insurance Compensation Consortium.
If the driver of the vehicle I was travelling in is at fault for the accident, am I entitled to compensation? And in that case, am I harming the driver in any way?
Yes, you are entitled to compensation for the damage suffered. You are not harming the driver; the insurer contracted by the driver is responsible for the compensation.
Can I refuse to be examined by the other party's expert?
No, as the injured party, you must cooperate, from the moment the damage occurs, so that the medical services appointed by the potentially liable party can examine you and monitor the progress of your injuries.
If you refuse to be assessed by the other party’s expert, you will lose your right to any interest that may accrue.
The other party's insurance assessor has asked me to sign a document. What is it?
It is an informed consent form, which has two parts:
The first part is an authorisation for the assessor to consult your medical records, both in relation to the accident and any previous history that could justify the injuries.
The second part is an authorisation for your data to be included in a common file held by insurance companies to prevent fraud, but you can refuse to sign this.
If I have an accident during working hours or on my way to or from work, do I have to undergo rehabilitation at the occupational accident mutual insurance company?
No, you can do it at any medical centre you wish, without prejudice to the mutual insurance company’s medical services supervising the period of sick leave.
Am I obliged to accept total loss?
There are different possible scenarios:
If you are at fault, you will have no choice but to accept total loss, and you will only receive the market value of the vehicle if you have comprehensive insurance.
If you are not at fault, you are not obliged to accept the total loss, but you can demand that your vehicle be repaired, provided that the cost of the repair does not exceed three times the value of the vehicle.
How long do I have to claim compensation for a traffic accident
The deadline is one year from the date of discharge and when the consequences are definitive. Before filing a lawsuit, you must first make a claim to the insurer, who must make a reasoned offer within three months.
Does my insurance cover my lawyer and prosecutor fees?
It depends on your insurance contract, although most policies usually include a legal coverage clause, which varies depending on the insurance company and the type of contract.
Am I obliged to choose the lawyer provided by the insurance company?
No, you have the right to choose your own lawyer.
How long does it take to receive compensation for injuries?
Approximately 30 to 60 days, although this depends on the insurance company in question.
How is compensation for traffic accidents calculated?
Compensation is calculated based on scales established by current legislation, taking into account the time needed for recovery, any lasting effects, damages, expenses, loss of earnings and consequential damages.
Am I entitled to compensation even if I have not stopped working or do not have a job?
Yes, you are always entitled to compensation, regardless of whether you are working or not, and even if you have had to take sick leave or not. In other words, we have to differentiate between sick leave and work leave. Sick leave is the period during which a person is recovering from injuries sustained in an accident. Work leave is the period during which a person on sick leave recovering from their injuries is unable to carry out their professional activity.
If the police report blames me for the traffic accident, do I have the right to claim?
There are two possible scenarios:
On the one hand, in the event of contributory negligence, I will be entitled to compensation for injuries, which will be reduced by a percentage equal to the degree of fault attributed to me by the insurance company.
On the other hand, if I am solely at fault, I will not be entitled to any compensation.
In the case of material damage, only damage for which I am not civilly liable will be covered.
As a result of a traffic accident, what damages can be claimed?
Both material and physical damages can be claimed, in addition to damages such as loss of earnings and consequential damages.
Who can claim damages resulting from a traffic accident?
The injured party themselves, or their legal representative, whether a guardian, parent, lawyer, etc.
In a traffic accident, in the event of the death of the occupant or occupants and/or driver, who can claim?
The heirs of the deceased occupant and/or driver will have direct action to claim compensation.
What is the daily compensation for a traffic accident?
In 2025, the daily compensation for a traffic accident is calculated according to the type of damage and the severity of the injuries. For basic personal injury, the compensation is €38.10 per day. Moderate damage is compensated at £66.04 per day, serious damage at £95.26 per day, and very serious damage at £127.01 per day, according to the traffic accident scale.
What happens if a vehicle is driven without insurance?
You may be fined between €600 and €3,000 and the vehicle may be immobilised. In the event of an accident, the Insurance Compensation Consortium will be responsible for compensating the other party, although it may subsequently claim the compensation amounts from the driver and owner of the vehicle.
