Victims Claim Against Accidents
The victims in case of accidents in traffic, not just demand more money, but more rights, the coverage of health expenditure of the neuro-rehabilitation or pension for housewives who are disabled, among others.
Today’s awards in Spain for this kind of accident is notoriously low , especially, the mismatch of compensation is evident also when compared with those given by terrorist attacks. The loss of a child in the 11-M were compensated with 900,000 euros, while if the death is an accident, the family receives only 99,000.
In addition, traffic accidents in Spain fell by 51% in the last 15 years, achieving fall below the EU average. Keep in mind that the fleet has increased by 65% since 1995, which drew the scale, this time without taking into account the victims’ associations. Now there are safer and less dead, so that victims ask the insurance amount to be suited to reality.
The management of Insurance recognizes that although the amounts of scale are increased annually with the CPI, should be reviewed items that are inadequate. To Unespa , priorities are the same as for the prosecution and victims: the great injury with family and loss of profits, ie the loss of future income.
Victims’ associations point out that the Compulsory Insurance Cars must fulfill a social function and, therefore, protection and redress for victims should be above all other considerations.
