Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

What is the difference between contractual and non-contractual civil liability?

Contractual liability arises from a breach of contract; non-contractual liability arises from damage caused to a third party with no contractual relationship.

Is it compulsory to have civil liability insurance?

In some sectors, such as medicine, law or construction, it is. In others, it is not, but it is always advisable to have coverage against claims.

What damages can be claimed?

Personal injury (physical or psychological injury), material damage (property or possessions) and financial loss (economic loss).

What are the deadlines for filing a claim?

In Spain, the general time limit is one year from the date on which the victim becomes aware of the damage. In the Dominican Republic, the time limits vary depending on the type of damage.
