How can we help you?
I have been injured in an accident
Complete medical documentation and a claim for every head of loss the Spanish scale (baremo) recognises.
The insurer is offering me too little
We check whether the offer really covers every head of loss before you accept.
I have been discharged but I am left with permanent effects
Permanent sequelae are compensated under their own rules. Do not give up on them without a review.
The accident was recent and I don't know what to do
An immediate consultation to guide you on deadlines, documents and your rights.
The insurer has rejected my claim
We analyse the reasons for the refusal and assess whether to go to court.
The accident was more than a year ago
The limitation period is one year, but it can be interrupted. We check whether your claim is still alive.
Step by step
A road traffic accident gives rise to compensation rights that the liable driver's insurer must meet. The scale set out in Royal Legislative Decree 8/2004 fixes the amounts, but applying it correctly — with every head of loss included — is neither automatic nor straightforward.
"The insurer wants to close the file as quickly and cheaply as possible. The injured person wants compensation that actually covers the harm suffered. Those interests do not reconcile themselves without independent legal analysis."
Arriving at the right figure means identifying every head of loss: temporary injury, permanent sequelae, cosmetic damage, non-pecuniary loss, medical and care costs, loss of earnings and, where applicable, loss of quality of life. Many injured people accept offers that do not cover their permanent sequelae simply because they do not know which heads of loss the scale recognises.
Full medico-legal assessment
We arrange the forensic or expert medical examination so that every injury and lasting effect is documented to the standard the scale demands.
Negotiation with the insurer
We submit the claim with every head of loss correctly quantified and negotiate with the insurer before going to court.
Court proceedings if no agreement is reached
If the insurer will not offer an adequate figure, we sue and defend our valuation before the judge with the necessary expert evidence.
Using the official scale amounts for the year of your accident. Instant result.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to accept the insurer's first offer?
No. The initial offer can be reviewed and, where appropriate, challenged. It is worth checking it against an independent valuation to see whether it really matches the scale and the seriousness of the injuries.
What if there is no police report of the accident?
Although a police report gives legal certainty, other evidence can be used: a European Accident Statement, witnesses, photographs, footage or medical reports consistent with how the collision happened.
Can I claim if my injuries only appear days after the accident?
You can, provided there is a clear link between the accident and the injury. It is essential to seek medical attention as soon as possible and to have the traumatic origin of the symptoms recorded.
