Processes in defense of individuals for the patrimonial responsibility of the administration

We will defend your claims in the claims that you want to raise for responsibility in the action of any administration (local, regional, state) if you have suffered any damage or prejudice as a result of that action.
 
Citizens have the right to claim compensation when they have suffered damages or losses resulting from the incorrect or negligent actions of a public administration, whether at the local, regional or state level. This principle is known as the property responsibility of the Administration, and is regulated by current legislation to ensure that individuals can be compensated in cases where the Administration, in the exercise of its functions , causes damage that they have no obligation to bear.
 
In our firm, we offer specialized legal representation in thepersonal defense in this kind of situations. We are responsible for managing the entire claim process, from the submission of the request to the relevant Administration until, if necessary, the judicial defense in case of rejection of the claim or if the Administration does not respond within the deadline legally established.
 
The patrimonial responsibility of the Administration applies in very diverse cases, such as:
 
  • Accidents on public roads
    due to deficiencies in maintenance (falls due to sidewalks in poor condition, poor signage, or lack of adequate safety measures).
  • Medical errors
    in public health centers that have caused damage to patients due to negligence, malpractice or unjustified delays in treatment.
  • Floods or material damage
    resulting from poorly planned or poorly executed public works that have affected private properties.
  • Incorrect administrative decisions
    that cause economic damage or damage to the rights of citizens, such as the erroneous granting or denial of licenses, penalties or expropriations.
  • Damage resulting from abnormal operation of public services
    (such as power cuts, interruptions in water supply or failures in essential infrastructure such as roads or bridges).

In these cases, the law allows the citizen to claim a compensation whenever it can be demonstrated that the damage suffered is real, quantifiable and direct, and that there is a causal link strong> between the actions of the Administration and the damage suffered. To ensure success in a claim of this type, it is essential to have legal advice that is able to gather all the necessary evidence, prepare the appropriate technical reports, and write a solid case that supports the client’s claims.

One of the most important aspects in this type of process is to correctly determine theresponsibility of the Administration. Often, public administrations try to evade their responsibility by arguing that the damages are not directly attributable to their actions or that they have acted within the limits of legality. In these cases, our experience allows us to identify the weaknesses in the arguments of the Administration and structure a legal strategy that clearly demonstrates that the damages suffered by the individual have been a direct consequence of an incorrect action or negligence.
 
The process to claim thepatrimonial responsibility of the Administration usually starts with the presentation of ‘un admin file, in which the facts, evidence of damages and the amount of the compensation requested. If the Administration accepts the claim, an out-of-court settlement can be reached, but if the claim is rejected or if no response is received within the legal period of six months, acontentious-administrative procedure before the courts to claim compensation way judicial.
 
It is important to act within the legal deadlines established for these claims, which are generally one year from the moment the damage occurs or the damage is known. We undertake to manage each stage of the procedure with rigor and professionalism, ensuring that the claim is presented at the right time and in an effective manner to maximize the chances of success.

In addition to the defense of the client’s interests in the claim of patrimonial responsibility, we also offer preventive advice to analyze possible situations in which inappropriate action by the Administration may occur, helping individuals to understand their rights and the legal avenues available to protect them.

In short, our job is to provide our clients with an effective defense against possible negligent or wrongful actions by public administrations, ensuring that they can receive fair compensation for the damages suffered.
