Spain may experience various types of personal injuries. For instance, an illness or physical injury could be considered a form of personal injury, which refers to the harm caused to a person rather than damage to their reputation or property, as a legal term.
Car crashes on the road.
Gather as much evidence as you can if you are engaged in a traffic accident (accidente de trafico) while operating a vehicle in Spain. This might involve obtaining testimonies from any bystanders, noting down the details of any other motorist involved in the collision, and capturing any photographs or videos of the harm caused.
It can sometimes be difficult to determine who is at fault when accidents occur on the road in Spain, so it is advisable to consider hiring international Spanish solicitors who can assist with communication in order to make a personal injury claim or receive compensation.
Hotel mishaps.
While staying in hotels abroad, British nationals often have the right to compensation if they experience food poisoning or if they fall, trip, or slip due to the fault of the hotel or restaurant. Negligence or improper structure by the hotel staff may result in an accident occurring.
Seeking legal advice from multilingual solicitors can provide sound guidance to those who need assistance. Having an accident abroad can be a daunting experience, especially if you do not understand the laws or the language.

What is the procedure for reporting a personal injury in Spain?
Since the commencement of Brexit on January 1st, 2021, there has been a change in how British nationals make personal injury claims that follow the laws of the country in which the accident took place, as dictated by the “Brussels Regime,” which involves the nationalities of those involved being irrelevant.
If an accident occurs, make sure to gather any evidence, such as medical reports or proof of injuries, to support your claim. If you require assistance, you should call emergency services in Spanish (112) first.
You can then reach out to Spanish personal injury attorneys for help with filing your claim.
Report on Quantum Physics.
The time it takes for an individual to recover, including the expectation of reasonable eventual recovery, must be taken into consideration when assessing the cost. The Quantum Report serves the purpose of estimating the value of the claim, taking into account the ongoing rehabilitation requirements and care for the injured party.
At Giambrone & Partners, we have the option to undergo Quantum Reports as a component of our personal injury claim.

Claim Letter.
Once the decision to claim for negligence or personal injury has been made, a letter of claim will be sent to those responsible, whether they want to accept or deny liability. This document will outline your injuries and the organization or employer who is responsible.
If the Spanish court does not accept partial or full liability for these cases, your solicitor will be able to advise you on the most viable options available and represent you in court.
