TRAFFIC ACCIDENT ON HOLIDAY IN SPAIN? SPEAK TO AN ENGLISH-SPEAKING LAWYER
We help tourists and holidaymakers claim their maximum compensation, wherever you are now.
A car accident, a moped or scooter crash, a taxi collision, or being knocked down as a pedestrian can turn your holiday in Spain into a stressful ordeal, especially once you are back home and unsure of your rights. Spanish law protects visitors just as it protects residents: it does not matter whether you were driving a hire car, riding as a passenger on an excursion coach, or simply crossing the road. You are entitled to proper medical care and to claim the maximum compensation for your injuries.
At Tráfico Ayuda, our English-speaking specialist lawyers review your case at no cost and handle everything with the Spanish insurer on your behalf, wherever in the world you are now. We work under one simple commitment: if we don't win, you don't pay.
Injured in a coach or bus accident during your holiday in Spain?
Don't let the insurer overlook your rights just because you are a visitor. At Tráfico Ayuda, our English-speaking lawyers activate every legal protection available to maximise your compensation, built on these 4 key pillars:
Compulsory Passenger Insurance
This protects you simply for being a passenger, whether on an excursion coach or an airport transfer. It covers bodily injury, disability or temporary incapacity regardless of who was at fault. Your ticket is the contract that activates this cover.
Compulsory Motor Liability Insurance
This covers the liability of the coach company or an at-fault third party. It guarantees your unlimited medical care at trusted centres until you have fully recovered, even if you need to travel home first.
Dual Compensation
Spain's Supreme Court has confirmed that these two policies are compatible and can be claimed together. We fight to secure both payouts, a right that companies often fail to mention to tourists.
Sudden Braking and Falls on Board
A collision is not required to make a claim. You can also claim for sudden braking, reckless manoeuvres, falls while boarding or alighting, or poorly maintained vehicle conditions on your excursion or transfer.
Injured on a coach, bus or transfer during your trip to Spain? Don't let the legal deadline pass.
Request Your Free Case ReviewYour strategy to beat the public transport insurer
Claiming against a large transport company requires firmness and technical expertise, especially when you are far from home. At Tráfico Ayuda, our English-speaking lawyers apply an assertive strategy so you don't lose a single cent of the compensation you deserve.
Independent, Firm Defence
NO DEALS WITH INSURERS
Unlike insurance company lawyers, we have no ties to the insurance industry. We demand the maximum compensation under both the passenger and third-party liability policies, without accepting low-ball offers.
Total independence in defending your interests.
Unchallengeable Medical Evidence
YOUR HEALTH COMES FIRST
We work with specialist medical experts who assess every injury, from whiplash to permanent impairments, building a solid medical report that no insurer can successfully challenge in court.
Expert medical evidence to maximise your compensation.
No Upfront Costs or Payments
NO WIN, NO FEE
We take on all the financial risk from day one. You don't pay any retainer or advance, nothing at all. We only receive our fee if we win your compensation.
Complete peace of mind throughout the entire legal process.
Third-party liability: 2026 compensation amounts for injuries
In a coach or bus accident claim, calculating third-party liability correctly is key to your full recovery. These are the updated daily compensation amounts under the 2026 Baremo (the Spanish compensation scale):
Very Severe Day: €130.69
Compensation for each day spent in intensive care or suffering an almost total loss of independence for essential daily activities.
Severe Day: €98.02
Amount for each day spent in hospital due to the injuries suffered in the coach or bus accident.
Moderate Day: €67.96
Amount for each day you are unable to work or carry out a significant part of your usual daily activities.
Basic Day: €39.20
Daily compensation for the healing period until your injuries stabilise, with no loss of quality of life.
Strategic note: We also claim for medical assistance costs, pharmacy expenses and any property damage arising from the accident.

Why choose Tráfico Ayuda
instead of your insurer's lawyer?
After a coach or bus accident on holiday, your travel or motor insurer may offer you legal representation, but their lawyers often work under agreements that limit your compensation to save costs for the insurance companies. If your policy is subject to Spanish law, remember that you have the right to freely choose your own independent lawyer, usually at no extra cost, as this is typically covered by your own legal expenses policy.
At Tráfico Ayuda, we have no agreements with transport companies or insurers. This allows us to claim the full sum of the passenger and third-party liability policies without restrictions, always seeking your maximum legal benefit.
No Conflicts of Interest
Insurers are often "judge and jury" in their own case. We are 100% independent and answer only to you, never to the insurance company.
Genuine Specialisation
We know the 2026 Baremo inside out, along with the specific details of coach and bus accident claims that generalist lawyers often overlook.
Zero Risk
We charge nothing upfront. Our promise is simple: if you don't win your accident compensation, we don't get paid.
More Than Just Vehicle Damage: We Are Personal Injury Experts for Tourists in Spain
We understand that the real impact of a traffic accident during your holiday is on you, not just your itinerary.
What is defined as a Personal Injury?
It includes all physical, psychological or emotional damage suffered as a direct result of the accident, whether you were driving, a passenger or a pedestrian. No matter how minor it may seem: if it affects your holiday and your life, it deserves fair compensation under the Spanish injury scale (the "Baremo").
Minor Injuries
Whiplash, bruising and sprains from a car, taxi or coach accident. Often underestimated by insurers, yet they can be significantly painful and limiting, and can easily disrupt the rest of your trip.
Serious Injuries
Fractures, surgeries, hospitalisations and permanent impairments that require extensive long-term medical treatment, sometimes after you have already returned home.
Psychological Damage
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), anxiety and fear of driving or travelling again. These are just as real and claimable as physical injuries.
