The justice that victims of road accidents deserve

This Sunday, like every third Sunday in November, the victims of traffic accidents are remembered. It is now 30 years that this day focuses on those who, as pedestrians or occupying a vehicle, suffered an accident. 
 
This date has the motto "Remember. Support. Act", a phrase that helps emphasize the importance of remembering those who have been affected by these accidents and taking steps to prevent future deaths and injuries on the road.

The focus this year is also on applying justice with maximum rigor to the incident, observing whether the traffic regulations were scrupulously respected, exhaustively investigating to determine if there was a crime, carrying out the corresponding criminal actions, if appropriate, and compensating the victims, because applying justice in a serious, coherent and agile manner is the way to compensate those who have been affected by an event, not because it is normalized, but less serious. 

Fraternidad-Muprespa focuses on prevention, on thinking about how to reduce this statistic, thanks to more road safety and the dissemination of this concept through multiple actions. 

And it does not only do so during the celebration of its Workplace Road Safety Week, in which it develops workshops, broadcasts videos, interviews and invites expert speakers and summons its mutual companies to raise awareness on the matter, but it does so all year round, through actions of all kinds. 

Spain registered 73,522 work-related traffic accidents in 2022. Of them, 50,548 were 'in itinere' and 20,622 happened during working hours. These figures mean that, on average, more than 200 of these types of accidents occur every day. Men aged 38 on average are the typical victims in these accidents.
