Transit accidents
In Israel, road accidents are unfortunately a common occurrence, despite the many resources that the authorities invest every day to prevent them.
A person who is injured in a car accident is entitled to financial compensation, when there is no significance to the question of who is to blame for the accident. The right to compensation exists equally for both the person responsible for the accident and those who were injured through no fault of their own.
Even in minor accidents, in which the plaintiff suffered no damage, but only for a few days, it is possible to receive compensation in the order of thousands of NIS, without the need for lengthy litigation. In these cases, the plaintiff receives compensation ranging from approximately NIS 5,000 to NIS 19,000, mainly for the pain and suffering caused by a lawyer for traffic accidents. You should, of course, be accompanied by an experienced car accident lawyer.
In cases of serious injury due to a car accident, it is possible to receive from the insurance company an advance of compensation near the accident, at the expense of the final compensation – this advance is called a frequent payment. The process of receiving frequent payment is not simple and requires the representation of a car accident lawyer who knows how to deal with the insurance company.
It is also important to understand that even in cases where initial intuition says that there are no road accidents, an individual inquiry should be conducted in these cases of doubt, since the court has expanded the definition of a road accident over the years. For example, the courts recognized cases in which a person was hit by a parked vehicle, accidents that happen to people while entering or exiting the vehicle, and injuries caused during handling of the vehicle, as road accidents.
Obsolescence in a car accident
You can file a claim for damages caused by a car accident up to 7 years after the accident. In exceptional cases, when the damage is discovered at a later date, for example, the statute of limitations may be extended to 10 years.
In order to file a claim for damage caused by a car accident, it is very important to understand exactly what damage was caused to the injured person, and in some cases it is even recommended to wait a certain period until the damage is medically crystallized and can be assessed and quantified.
It is important to act wisely on this matter and note that the lawsuit is filed within the statute of limitations, but at the same time, that it is not filed too early.
"Do not hesitate to consult someone who is experienced in filing such claims, who will know how to guide you in the correct and accurate way and help you schedule your filing date."
