Abstract
The aim of this study is to conduct a literature review on major psychological injuries and sequelae in motor accidents victims and to establish their prevalence rate. The difficulties to establish a direct causal link between such psychological injuries and sequelae in victims and the motor accident in itself are analyzed. Biological and psychological vulnerability and resilience factors are also studied in order to better understand the process of victimization. Likewise the implications for forensic assessments, regarding psychological injuries and sequelae, of the new compensation standards for motor accident victims approved by the Spanish Parliament in 2015 are described. The differences of this compensation table related to the prior one are stressed and the shortcomings of the new standards, in the opinion of the authors, are indicated. Suggestions for further research are commented on.
