Your lawyer expert in traffic accidents in Barcelona

You have two years to file a lawsuit. If you sue a municipality or a government agency, the statute of limitations may be one year or less. That's why it's important to speak with an experienced car accident attorney as soon as possible after your accident.

To prove you weren't at fault in a car accident, you'll need to provide sufficient evidence that someone else was at fault. This evidence can include the police report, eyewitness statements, photos or videos from the scene, and traffic camera footage.

If you've been involved in a traffic accident that wasn't your fault, you can claim compensation for all injuries, both physical and mental. This includes anxiety.

Of course, it's not only car drivers who are involved in traffic accidents. In fact, pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists are the most vulnerable road users and are more likely to suffer serious injury in an accident.

Whether you have been involved in an incident as a driver, passenger, pedestrian or any other type of road user, our lawyers in Barcelona will do everything in their power to help you.

Because we are committed to providing the best possible service, we choose all our lawyers based on their specialties and closely supervise them, so that you receive the best possible advice and service.

Our lawyers work in accordance with the high standards set out in our client charter.

If you have suffered injuries in a traffic accident caused by another person, you may be entitled to claim compensation, and one of our experts could help you obtain the compensation you are entitled to.

If someone you know—for example, a family member—was involved in an accident and suffered life-altering injuries, they may not be able to claim compensation for themselves. In that case, you can claim on their behalf, and we can connect you with the right car accident lawyer to help you and your loved ones during what we understand is a difficult time.

In most cases, you have three years from the date of the accident to file a compensation claim. If you think that deadline is approaching, we recommend that you contact us as soon as possible so we can assess your situation and, if we believe you have a case, put you in touch with one of our specialist car accident lawyers.

However, some circumstances will have different timeframes:

For example, if the person involved in the accident suffered a head injury, this may have affected their ability to make legal decisions, so the time limit for filing a claim may be extended.

Furthermore, if your child was involved in a traffic accident, they have up to three years after turning 18 to initiate a claim for compensation.

And, if you have suffered injuries due to someone's deliberate actions, you may be able to file a separate claim with the Criminal Injury Compensation Authority. In those circumstances, a two-year statute of limitations will apply.

If you wish to make a claim later, you will need to initiate legal proceedings within the established time limits. If you do not file the claim within those time limits, you will generally not be able to proceed.

"This is called 'prescription'. Extensions of deadlines are only possible in exceptional circumstances and you should consult with another law firm."

Every traffic accident—and the people involved in them—is unique, so there is no fixed amount of compensation that can be awarded to you if your claim is successful.

The compensation you receive will depend on a number of factors, such as the nature of the accident, the severity of your injuries, any damage to your mental well-being, and any impact on your ability to work.

Therefore, we cannot give you an exact answer, but you can use a free claims calculator tool to get an idea of the amount you could claim.

Even if you were involved in a collision where the other driver was uninsured or failed to stop and share their contact information, our specialist car accident lawyers can help.
