If you have been involved in a traffic accident in Spain, you are entitled to claim compensation for the personal and material damages incurred. At Sánchez Solicitors, we have lawyers specializing in traffic accidents who will handle your claim against the insurance company, protecting your interests at all times.
A traffic accident can have serious consequences: physical injuries, loss of income, vehicle damage, and a lengthy recovery process. Spanish law recognizes the right of victims to compensation, but negotiating with insurance companies without legal advice can result in compensation far below what is due.
Our firm takes on the defense of your case from the outset, with proven experience in traffic accident claims in Spain.
The amount of compensation is determined according to the Traffic Accident Compensation Scale, which is updated annually. In 2026, the scale increased by 2.9%, which raises the applicable compensation. Request an assessment of your case.
Spain receives millions of tourists and foreign residents each year, some of whom are involved in traffic accidents. Claiming compensation in a country other than one’s own, with a different legal system and in another language, can be especially complex.
At Sánchez Solicitors, we have extensive experience representing international clients in traffic accident claims in Spain. We manage the entire process, from communication with the Insurance Compensation Consortium to negotiations with foreign insurers when the vehicle involved is registered outside of Spain.
If you’ve been in a car accident in Spain, don’t let the insurance company determine the value of your damages without independent legal advice. At Sánchez Solicitors, we analyze your case free of charge and inform you of your rights and options for claiming compensation.
The timeframe varies depending on the complexity of the case. Insurance companies have three months to submit a reasoned offer from the date the claim is filed. If there are serious injuries or discrepancies in the valuation, the process can take between six months and two years, especially if the case goes to court.
Yes. In Spain, the Insurance Compensation Consortium covers damages to victims when the responsible vehicle lacks mandatory insurance or is an unknown vehicle that has fled the scene.
The scale is the legal system that establishes the compensation amounts for injuries and resulting disabilities from traffic accidents in Spain. It is updated annually according to the Consumer Price Index (CPI). In 2026, it increased by 2.9%, raising compensation amounts compared to the previous year. Its application is mandatory for insurance companies.
Do not accept any offer without first consulting a specialized lawyer. Initial offers from insurance companies are usually lower than what you are legally entitled to. Once you accept the offer and sign the settlement agreement, it becomes very difficult to claim a higher amount.
