Certain studies shown that more than 76% of the issues of an insurance nature correspond to the area of civil liability – such as traffic accidents, which account for about 40% of cases -, water damage (21.30%) or electrical damage (16.67%). Regarding the amount, in 50% of the judicial proceedings an amount equal to or less than € 1,644.50 has been claimed, and in 77% of the cases the amount is equal to or less than € 5,000.

These figures confirm that there are disputes in which the amount at stake is much lower than the cost of bringing the resolution of this type of controversy to court, presenting mediation as a very interesting alternative.
