Briefings

In 2025, Portuguese insurance companies handled over 539,000 vehicle claim regularizations, with 98% of cases involving only material damage. Despite high compliance rates exceeding 99% for legal deadlines, the number of customer complaints dropped to 4,547, representing a 401 decrease from the previous year. The study by NOVA IMS indicates that most road accidents occur on clear days during the day on straight roads, but this does not mean weather or road conditions are inherently more dangerous. Key facts include 46,143 collisions, 27,264 slips, and 11,592 pedestrian strikes during good weather, compared to 6,072, 7,248, and 1,788 during rain.
