e advise people who have had a traffic accident and offer them support throughout the process with a view to obtaining the maximum compensation possible.

We also ensure that the injured party, who may be the driver, the passenger or a pedestrian, is protected at all times against insurance company infrastructures and compensated for damages suffered on account of a traffic accident for which he or she is not responsible and which has disrupted his or her life. We meanwhile process damage caused to the vehicle and material losses arising from the traffic accident.

We inform you regarding the cover in your vehicle insurance policy.

We also claim life insurance policy linked to the vehicle policy, if the driver or passenger should be killed because of a traffic accident, plus accident and other insurance associated with bodily damage.

From January 1, 2016 comes into force the law 35/2015 which is the new scale of assessment of damages derived from traffic accidents.
