Major Accidents

At Rodríguez Escudero Abogados, we specialize in securing compensation for serious traffic accidents. We work with top judicial experts to accurately assess injuries and damages resulting from these incidents.

When traffic accidents result in serious injuries or fatalities, they not only impact the victim but also dramatically alter the lives of their families and loved ones, who deserve immediate attention and guidance.

In serious accidents, the most common injuries include paraplegia, loss of one or more limbs, severe brain injuries, spinal cord trauma, neurological disorders that lead to significant mental impairments, and blindness. These injuries often lead to permanent disabilities or, in the worst cases, result in the death of the victim.

Key Factors in the Assessment of Injuries from Serious Accidents

Serious injury cases typically involve long recovery periods, making them complex to evaluate. Various factors must be considered when calculating compensation for traffic accidents, including:

  • Number of hospitalization days for the accident victim.
  • Duration of time required for the stabilization of injuries.
  • Permanent disabilities or sequelae sustained by the victim.
  • Loss of quality of life.
  • Loss of earnings or income for the injured parties as a result of the accident. This includes calculating the financial impact on the spouse, parents, siblings, and other relatives of the victim.
  • Material damages, including medical expenses and rehabilitation.
  • Costs for prosthetics, orthotics, and other assistive devices.
  • Home adaptations required to accommodate the victim’s new physical condition.
  • Costs for adaptive chairs and other equipment.
  • Assessment of the need for third-party assistance in daily activities.
  • Moral damages and emotional suffering.
  • Aesthetic damages resulting from visible injuries.
  • Ongoing necessity for third-party care.

We take all these factors into account to ensure that victims and their families receive the maximum compensation they are entitled to under the law.
