Accident & Personal Injury Lawyers in Valencia and the Costa Blanca
If you have been injured in an accident in Spain, you are entitled to full compensation for the harm you have suffered — physical, psychological and economic. Our firm represents victims of traffic collisions, hotel and beach accidents, workplace injuries, slips and falls, and medical negligence, both in the province of Valencia and along the Costa Blanca (Alicante province).
We act for residents, expatriates and visitors who have been injured in Spain. Many of our clients are international — British, French, Belgian, Swiss and other European nationals — and we handle each case from start to finish in English and French, dealing directly with Spanish insurers, hospitals, loss adjusters and courts on your behalf.
Types of Personal Injury Claims We Handle
- Road traffic accidents — collisions, motorcycle and cycling accidents, pedestrian injuries, hit-and-run cases against the Consorcio de Compensación de Seguros.
- Holiday and tourist accidents — falls in hotels, pool and beach injuries, excursion and water-sport incidents, rental-vehicle accidents.
- Workplace accidents — injuries on construction sites, industrial premises and in the service sector, including claims against employers and insurers.
- Slips, trips and falls in public or commercial premises — restaurants, supermarkets, shopping centres and public streets.
- Medical negligence — misdiagnosis, surgical errors, hospital-acquired infections and defective treatment in the Spanish public or private health system.
- Assault and criminal injury — pursuing both the criminal action and the civil compensation claim before the Spanish courts.
What We Do for You
- Free initial case review to assess the strength of your claim and the likely compensation.
- Gathering of police reports (atestado), medical records and independent expert evidence.

- Negotiation with Spanish and foreign insurers to obtain the highest possible out-of-court settlement.
- Full litigation before the civil and criminal courts of Valencia, Alicante, Dénia and Benidorm when negotiation is not enough.

What types of accident and personal injury claims does your firm handle in Spain?
We handle the full range of personal injury matters: road traffic accidents, motorcycle and cycling collisions, pedestrian injuries, holiday and hotel accidents, slips and falls in public or commercial premises, workplace injuries, medical negligence, and civil compensation arising from criminal offences. We act for both residents and international visitors injured anywhere in Valencia or the Costa Blanca.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Spain?
Time limits vary depending on the type of accident. For road traffic accidents the limit is generally one year from the date the injuries are medically stabilised. For other civil personal injury claims the ordinary limit is also one year from the incident, although some scenarios allow longer. These deadlines are strict, so we strongly recommend contacting a lawyer as soon as possible after the accident.
What compensation can I recover after an accident in Valencia or on the Costa Blanca?
Under the Spanish compensation scale (baremo), you may be entitled to damages for the days you were unable to carry out your normal activities, permanent physical or psychological sequelae, pain and suffering, loss of earnings, future medical care, aesthetic damage and, in fatal cases, compensation for relatives. We quantify each head of damage in detail so that any settlement offer from the insurer can be properly assessed.
I had an accident in Spain while on holiday — can you still represent me once I have returned home?
Yes. A large part of our practice consists of representing foreign clients — British, French, Belgian, Swiss and others — who were injured during their holidays and have since returned home. We can act under a signed power of attorney, communicate with you by email or video call in English or French, and liaise with your doctor, insurer or lawyer in your country of residence. Nous assurons le suivi complet de votre dossier en français si vous le souhaitez.
Do I have to accept the first offer from the insurance company?
No — and in most cases you should not. Insurers’ first offers in Spain are routinely well below the figure that a proper valuation under the baremo would yield, especially where future care, loss of earnings or psychological injury are involved. We review each offer against the legal scale and, if it is insufficient, negotiate a higher settlement or bring the claim before the Spanish courts.
