Contractual and extra-contractual civil liability.
The Spanish Civil Code , throughout its extensive articles, offers two main avenues for any person or company to claim civil liability from someone who has caused them harm. The difference between these two options depends on the relationship between the claimant and the defendant. Thus, we find the following:
- Contractual liability. It will be given when there is any contract between the parties from which the damage is caused, mainly dealing with contracts that have not been fulfilled by one of its signatories, or agreements that have been carried out in a deficient or negligent manner. The number of possibilities is very extensive, but we can find as an example the execution of works or services in a poor way, the sale of goods that are in defective condition, claims for non-payments, problems in rental contracts, and a huge etcetera.
- Tort liability. Contrary to the previous case, this type of responsibility exists when the damages do not come from any contract that binds the parties. This type of situation can also be very extensive, but the most common cases are traffic accidents; bumps and falls; dampness and other damage to movable and immovable property; or negligence such as medical in which there is no type of contract.
How are indemnities for civil liability calculated and claimed?
In order for compensation to be claimed, it must first be calculated . This calculation can be done in several ways, depending on the type of liability involved. There is an official traffic accident compensation scale that can be used as a guide for the vast majority of personal injury claims, while property damage can be calculated using expert or technical reports that determine the corresponding repair costs. Of course, our firm can assist you with any of these procedures.
Once the amount to be claimed has been calculated, our usual procedure is to first file an out-of-court claim requesting payment from the other party within a few days. If the response is positive or there are possibilities for negotiation, we can assess the situation, provided the client agrees. If there is no response or the response is negative, we proceed through legal channels.
What are our fees for these services?
Once again, it depends on each specific case and primarily on two variables: the amount to be claimed and the likelihood of success. If there is a high probability of obtaining the corresponding compensation, we usually charge a percentage of around 15% , although if the client prefers, we can also charge a fixed fee. In either case, the amounts related to legal costs, if we win, usually go to the firm.
We don't usually surprise clients with fees, nor do we like to charge a provisional amount and leave the client wondering how much their case will cost until the end. Our quotes are always provided upfront and clearly, so the client knows exactly what it will cost to work with us before the proceedings even begin.

And at that moment you can, freely and without obligation, decide whether or not to continue with us.
