ROAD ACCIDENT ASSISTANCE - PROTECTING YOUR RIGHTS AFTER A COLLISION

If you’ve been involved in a road accident in Italy, you may be entitled to compensation for injuries, vehicle damage, and other losses. Navigating the claims process—especially in a foreign legal system—can be complex. We provide expert guidance to ensure your rights are fully protected.

Your immediate steps after an accident

In Italy, the first step is often filing a direct compensation claim through your insurance provider. However, insurance companies may undervalue or deny valid claims. Early legal intervention is critical to securing fair compensation.

Types of compensable damages

Italian law recognizes two primary categories of damages in road accident cases:

1. Economic damages (Danno patrimoniale). These are quantifiable financial losses, including:
    • Property damage: repair or replacement costs for your vehicle.

    • Lost income (lucro cessante): compensation for wages lost due to injury.

    • Medical expenses: costs for treatment, rehabilitation, and future care.

2. Non-economic damages (danno non Patrimoniale). These compensate for intangible harms, such as:
    • Biological damage (danno biologico): physical and psychological injuries, evaluated by medical experts.

    • Moral damage (danno morale): emotional distress and suffering caused by the accident.

    • Existential damage (danno esistenziale): life-altering impacts on daily activities, relationships, or quality of life.

In severe cases, additional claims (e.g., parental damage for families of fatal accident victims) may apply.
