Abstract

Based on the context of caring for road accident victims as a key challenge in road safety and public health, this study analyzes strategies to improve care at the Bucaramanga Traffic Department (DTTB), ensuring dignified and efficient treatment. Using a mixed methodology, the perceptions of victims and officials were assessed through surveys, interviews, and documentary analysis. The findings reveal deficiencies in intervention at the accident scene and in post-accident follow-up, particularly due to the lack of psychological assistance and legal guidance. This exacerbates victims vulnerability and limits their access to justice. It is concluded that a comprehensive care protocol that coordinates the entities involved is essential. It is recommended that a centralized model be implemented that integrates medical care, psychological support, and legal counsel to ensure care based on the dignity of users.
