CAR ACCIDENTS
Standing up to insurers and inadequate offers
From our office in Sant Feliu de Llobregat we handle claims from all over the Baix Llobregat and from Barcelona.
After an accident, the priority is to treat the injuries and preserve the evidence. Compensation may cover temporary injuries, after-effects, expenses, loss of income and material damage where applicable. Each item must be supported by evidence and valued according to the circumstances of the injured person.
At Lexamm we analyse the accident report or police report, the medical follow-up, liability and the financial documentation. We prepare the prior claim, review the reasoned offer or reply and negotiate with the insurer. If there is no adequate solution, we assess the court route with you before any new costs are incurred.
The law sets specific obligations and deadlines: as a general rule, the insurer has three months from the claim to make a reasoned offer or reply. See the consolidated legislation in the Spanish Official Gazette (BOE, in Spanish). This information is general; the deadline and the strategy must be reviewed against the documents in each case.

Car accident claims
How long do I have to claim for a traffic accident?
The deadline must be calculated using the dates and circumstances of the case. For personal injury, what is usually decisive is when the injuries stabilise or the after-effects can be established. The prior claim to the insurer interrupts the limitation period and, once the reasoned offer or reply has been formally notified, a new one-year period begins. It is best to have the file reviewed as soon as possible and not to wait until the last moment.
When must the insurer respond?
Once it has received the injured party's claim, the insurer generally has three months to make a reasoned offer if it considers liability established and the damage quantified. If it cannot make an offer or rejects the claim, it must issue a reasoned reply explaining why.
Should I accept the first compensation offer?
You do not have to accept it without reviewing it. It is advisable to check that the offer identifies and values separately the temporary injuries, after-effects, expenses, loss of income and material damage that apply, and that it includes the documents on which it is based.
Which documents should I keep?
The European accident report or police report, details of the vehicles and insurers, A&E and follow-up medical reports, photographs, invoices, proof of travel, sick notes, payslips and any document that proves expenses or loss of income. The documents needed vary from case to case.
