Also called biological damage, it is the reduction of the psychophysical efficiency of the injured person.

Whiplash compensation is that particular trauma that usually occurs after suffering a rear-end collision and consists of a retilinisation of the physiological lordosis of the cervical spine. Cervical distortion is quantified based on the micropermanent damage tables, i.e. from 1% to 9% permanent disability. The contested amendment connected to the liberalization decree places as a requirement, in order to be adequately compensated, objective demonstrability, with a tighter closure on compensation for damage; therefore whoever suffered the damage keeps the harm and the mockery. In reality nothing has changed compared to before, only that currently it is necessary to demonstrate the injury instrumentally (e.g. X-ray), in fact the so-called "whiplash" or distortion of the cervical spine is a real and objectively demonstrable pathology that leads to damage biological and to a permanent disability and as such is compensable. Correct management of the claim is therefore fundamental without making the do-it-yourself mistake. Needless to say, there are many insurance quibbles and it is not so obvious and simple to obtain the maximum hit score This is why it is worth turning to a professional for calculating road accident disability points and road accidents such as Toprisarcimenti, on the other hand "do-it-yourself compensation" will produce compensation that is up to 50% lower.

Suffering a road accident with a rear-end collision is among the most frequent cases and sometimes it can also coincide with a road accident while traveling. In the case of two vehicles involved, direct compensation applies.

Compensation for property damage is obtained on the basis of a repair estimate or repair invoice. In the event of a discrepancy in costs between the estimate and the car appraisal, the appraisal prevails; in the event of a discrepancy between the appraisal and the invoice, the repair invoice prevails. The case of uneconomical repairs can occur when the expert ascertains that the repair of the vehicle exceeds the value of the vehicle based on the Eurotax Blu valuation (sale).

Are you the victim of a road accident with a foreign vehicle or have you had an accident abroad?

With a recent ruling in 2013, the Court of Cassation ruled confirming the most current jurisprudential trend regarding the concept of "road safety", according to which, a road accident does not only mean an accident which causes a collision between vehicles, but rather any situation that exceeds the normal speed of the vehicle and that is a source of danger for the safety of the driver himself and third parties. Therefore the presumption of contributory negligence can be extended and applied even in the event that there is no contact between the vehicles involved in the road accident; obviously this contribution must be ascertained, as there must be a causal connection between the driving of the vehicle involved in the collision and the road accident. Therefore, in the event of contributory negligence ascertained in relation to a road accident without collision between two vehicles, the direct compensation procedure can be used to obtain compensation for the damage.

By law it is established that every vehicle and vessel must be strictly insured to circulate, so that in the event of a road accident, the injured party is in a position to obtain adequate compensation for the damage. To guarantee all this, the Guarantee Fund for road victims was established whose primary objective is to intervene in all cases of road accidents where vehicles that are not regularly insured or unidentified are involved. The Road Victims Fund acts through various Insurance Companies, designated according to the region where the road accident occurred, which manage the compensation for the damage as if the unidentified/insured vehicle were instead insured with them and a once the damage to the injured party has been paid, they proceed to recover it directly from the injurer, provided that the latter is identified.

For compensation for all other types of damage, such as:

Damage from road hazards applicable tables. Potholes on the road surface are every motorist's nightmare; one solution for traveling safely is to drive carefully and respect the speed limits imposed, but sometimes this is not enough. This problem is common throughout the country and is a danger not only for motorists, but also for motorcyclists, cyclists and simple pedestrians as an out-of-control vehicle is also dangerous for those traveling on foot. So what can a motorist involved in an accident caused by a road hazard do?

Cyclist hit on compensation strips: as the beautiful days increase, the number of people who travel by bicycle also increases; but first of all, what is the behavior they should adopt on the street?

In this specific case, compensation for a pedestrian struck, regardless of the extent of the injuries suffered by the pedestrian, places a presumption of responsibility on the driver of the vehicle. Therefore, compensation for damages will be due unless the driver of the vehicle proves that he did everything necessary and possible to avoid the collision; in simple terms, there are behavioral obligations for pedestrians and duties that weigh on drivers.

In the case of a motorcycle road accident with reason or contributory negligence, the same rules of the Highway Code apply as designated for all motor vehicles and boats. In the event of compensation for material damage for the motorcyclist, in addition to the damage to the motorcycle, material damage to the clothing damaged in the fall is looming.

The use of electric scooters is now spreading on Italian streets, but how can responsibilities and compensation for damages be determined in the event of an accident?

Even today it is not easy to quantify the road accident compensation calculation. In fact, the legislator gives certain criteria in the field of biological damage settlement only in the case of micro-permanent injuries (less than 9% permanent disability) applicable in the field of road accidents and cases of medical malpractice and medical error. For all other cases, reference is always made to road accident disability points tables developed by national courts, where among the most used are the Tables of the Court of Milan.
