Frequently Asked Questions
Can someone who was at fault still receive compensation in Israel?
Yes. Under Israel's Road Accident Victims Compensation Law (Paltad), fault does not determine eligibility. Even a driver who caused the accident through negligence is entitled to claim compensation for their own bodily injuries.
What is the statute of limitations for a road accident claim?
7 years from the date of the accident. For minors, the deadline extends to age 25. The sooner you act, the easier it is to gather evidence. Waiting weakens your case.
Can I receive money before my case is settled?
Yes. Israeli law provides for an urgent payment (tashlum takuf): an advance the insurance company must pay while your claim is being processed. Insurance companies rarely offer this voluntarily, but it is your legal right.
What happens in a hit-and-run when the driver is unknown?
You can file a claim against Karnit, a statutory fund established by Israeli law to compensate victims in exactly these situations. Karnit is obligated to pay like any insurance company.
How long does a personal injury claim take?
For minor injuries: typically a few months. For serious injuries: one and a half to three years depending on complexity. Advance payments are available during this period to cover ongoing costs.
How much does a personal injury lawyer cost in Israel?
Fees are set by law: 8% + VAT if no lawsuit is filed; 11% + VAT after filing and settlement; 13% + VAT after a court judgment. All personal injury attorneys in Israel are bound by this structure.
Do I have to pay anything upfront?
No. Attorney fees are paid only from the compensation you receive. No upfront payments, no case-opening fees. You pay nothing until your claim is resolved.
How is fault handled in a motorcycle accident claim?
In personal injury cases, fault is irrelevant. Under Israeli law (Paltad), compensation is awarded even if the accident was the rider's own fault, as long as it qualifies as a road accident.
Can I claim from both the insurance company and Bituach Leumi?
Yes. When a road accident qualifies as a work accident, you can pursue both simultaneously. From the insurance company: pain and suffering, medical costs, lost earnings. From Bituach Leumi: injury payments for the first 91 days, then monthly disability payments if incapacity continues.
What notary services does the firm provide?
