Accident Lawyer in Velez-Malaga
Accident Lawyers
If you have been involved in an accident, you may find yourself in a confusing situation with medical problems that need to be solved urgently.
For the management of compensation and claims, both for traffic accidents and for accidents at work or suffered on public roads or private premises, it is very important to have the advice and follow the instructions of a lawyer from the very first moment, as the first hours and days after the accident are essential to determine the amount of the claim and that it can be successful against insurance companies, public administrations and private individuals.
Traffic accidents
If you have had a traffic accident, you may be entitled to compensation.
Accidents at work
In the case of accidents at your place of work or while travelling to work, there is an insurance policy that covers the damages and after-effects, in addition to your right to sick leave.
Public or private civil liability
In a fall or incident in a public area such as a park or inside a private building or premises, there is public liability insurance to compensate you for the damages you suffer.
Medical malpractice
If a public or private medical treatment has been wrongly performed or has caused you harm, you can claim compensation.
Negligence in dental treatment
Dental treatment is expensive and time-consuming and often not carried out correctly, especially in franchised clinics. And you can claim.
How a lawyer can help you with your accident
A lawyer is not a doctor, of course, and in these cases health comes first.
However, the emotions of the moment can cloud your judgement and make important decisions, if they are complex, difficult to make.
That’s why a good accident lawyer can help you understand your legal options and make informed decisions. They can also help you negotiate fair and equitable settlements and make sure your rights are protected at all times. And, of course, to prepare the necessary documentation and present it in court.
If you have suffered an accident at work, it is important to know that you have rights, both employment and personal injury claims, against your employer and its insurance companies. But it is a complex process and one that needs a professional who is used to dealing with companies, social security and mutual accident insurance companies.
If you have suffered a traffic accident, you are also entitled to fair compensation for the damages suffered, the days you have needed to recover and the after-effects of the accident. And so that you can have peace of mind, a lawyer will take care of gathering all the necessary documentation, both police, medical and expert, and present it to the insurance company to claim the compensation you should receive as the injured party in a traffic accident.
If you have suffered damages as a result of an accident on public roads or private premises, you may be entitled to fair compensation, whether from a local council, an insurance company or a private entity. A lawyer will help you with the process, starting with preparing the extensive documentation needed and correctly identifying how and where to submit it, before you must go to court.
What you need to know about the process
To begin with, you will need to provide all relevant documentation:
- Medical reports.
- Police reports.
- Details of the accident.
- Other documentation related to your case.
It is also important to be aware of deadlines and potential problems that may arise during the claims process.
An accident lawyer can help you understand these details, prepare for any eventualities and ensure that these deadlines are met.
The best accident lawyers in Velez-Malaga?
It is not for us to say, we prefer to let our clients speak for us. In any case, what we are sure of is that we are among the best law firms in Axarquia.
Why are we so sure? Because we have more than 10 years of experience in handling cases of traffic accidents, accidents at work, damages and disability, in claims against insurance companies, administrations and individuals.
Moreover, many times, it is not so much a question of training and personal capacity -which is also true-, but rather that the real situations we see every day in a multitude of cases of traffic accidents, work-related accidents or private individuals teach us to anticipate problems and to know the requirements that our clients will have to meet in order to proceed with the payment of the compensation requested.
Whatever the accident and whatever the damages you have suffered (we hope they are the minimum), we can advise you from the first moment, to guide you in all the steps you must take to get a fair compensation.
The procedures and processes to which you will be subjected are long, with a lot of documentation and especially complex at the administrative level, so it is very important to have experience and knowledge to avoid reductions in the compensation you should receive, unjustified delays and even refusals to compensate the damages suffered.
We hope you have found this information useful. And if you need more help:
Questions you may have
How long does an accident claim take?
The time it takes to receive compensation for a traffic or work accident is quite short, a few months after you are medically discharged.
Normally you will receive an offer of payment from the insurer, but by default they usually pay about 50% of what you are actually entitled to. Therefore, we must make our own medical assessment and, in many cases, sue them in court, with a time limit of between 1 and 2 years depending on the amount of money we claim.
Claims against the SAS, the Town Hall, etc., will almost always go to court, so it can easily take 2-3 years.
What is the cost of the procedure?
In accident and insurance claims, we only charge if you get paid, and only when you get paid.
We charge a percentage of 15% of the amount you receive and, in many cases, this cost will also be borne by the insurer, because they have legal defence cover or because they are a condemnation of the claim.
How do you claim compensation for a traffic accident?
The main thing is to have it handled by a lawyer from the first minute, because it is very important to go to the doctor on the day of the accident and to follow a very specific process.
Normally, the insurance company will offer you a “free lawyer”, who in practice works for them and will only look after their interests. We recommend you to have your own lawyer from the day of the accident, who will review the whole procedure and claim everything that should be paid to you in an impartial way.
Once the medical treatment is finished and you are discharged, the company will do its own medical review and in a few days will offer you a compensation with immediate payment, as we have said, which will be about 50% of what they really have to pay you, or they will reply that they are not going to pay you anything.
In either case, we will need an expert report from our own doctor. Once we send them our own medical report, they will usually make another offer, higher but far from the real one. At that point you will have to file a lawsuit and start legal proceedings.
Once the procedure is iniciated, the insurance company can pay what has been agreed, make a new offer or oppose, so you will have to evaluate each option, with what is in your best interest in terms of the time in which it is paid and the money you receive. If no agreement is reached, there will be one or more hearings in Court and then there will be a judgement, in which the Judge decides how much the insurer will pay.
What about proceedings against the Andalusian Health Service or other Public Administrations?
These are special proceedings called “patrimonial liability” and are brought before the Contentious-Administrative Court, which is special for public matters.
And that means they are long and more complex procedures, because it is very difficult for the administration to pay anything voluntarily. For this reason, claims are usually made when the after-effects and damage caused are significant.
Why do I need an expert?
It is very important to have a doctor who is a legal expert and specialises in the subject matter to be claimed and who knows how to defend his report in court, if it has to come to that.
We work with a wide network of medical experts, specialised in all the necessary subjects, with experience and solvency in court, who will make a report of your real damages and after-effects. Its cost depends on each speciality, but it will always be worth it because it will make the compensation much higher.

Tenía un problema serio y complicado en relación a un inmueble, el abogado al que había acudido otras veces no supo como abordarlo y fue dilatándolo hasta que casi pierdo el control de la situación. Recurrí a Fernando y la experiencia fue muy distinta. Desde el momento en que me senté a hablar con él me invadió la tranquilidad (además la primera consulta fue gratis). Me propuso una gran variedad de opciones más de las que se me habían planteado en meses. Lo que parecía un caso perdido terminó por ser todo un éxito. Fernando es un gran profesional con una cercanía que lo convierte en único en su sector. Sin duda volveré cuando me surja cualquier imprevisto o duda legal. Muy recomendable.
