Attorney for Ministry of Defense Claims in Petah Tikva

Lawyer for Ministry of Defense Claims in Petach Tikva — Representation of Claimants Only

The Mandelboim, Gor, Witzman-Gor & Co. law firm specializes in representing claimants in lawsuits against the Ministry of Defense, primarily following traffic accidents and work accidents requiring substantial financial compensation. Since 2008, we have assisted injured parties in securing their full rights against government agencies and public bodies, with absolute legal precision and dedicated personal care.

A lawsuit against the Ministry of Defense or any other government agency requires deep legal knowledge of tort law, government proceedings, and application of current case law. In these lawsuits, the injured party often encounters complex legal defenses, requirements to prove causality between the wrongful act and the damage, and strict statutes of limitations. Our firm brings over 18 years of experience in handling such claims, with a high success rate in securing settlements and wins for claimants.

We represent claimants only — not government agencies or public bodies. This means we are entirely committed to the injured party's benefit, without any conflict of interest. Every case detail, every representation strategy, and every legal decision is focused on achieving maximum compensation and full protection of the claimant's rights.

Why Choose a Lawyer Specializing in Ministry of Defense Claims?

A lawsuit against the Ministry of Defense is not the same as a lawsuit between ordinary citizens. Government agencies defend themselves with the help of experienced legal firms, knowledge of government procedures, and special legal tools. Without specialized legal representation, an injured party may lose their rights or agree to compensation far lower than they are entitled to.

Our firm understands the approach of government agencies, their common legal arguments, and the best ways to counter them. We use in-depth knowledge of tort law, current case law, and precedent cases to build a strong case for every claimant.

Areas of Ministry of Defense Claims

• Traffic Accidents: Victims of traffic accidents involving military vehicles, military movement, or government infrastructure require special legal representation to claim compensation from the State or the responsible government agency.
• Work Accidents: Public employees and employees under contract with government agencies, including Ministry of Defense employees themselves, require representation in lawsuits against a government employer following negligence or unsafe working conditions.
• Public Negligence: Injury to person or property due to negligence or neglect of a government agency (for example, unsafe drainage, defective infrastructure, or failure to ensure public safety).
• National Insurance Claims: Determining national insurance obligations, establishing disability level, and arguing before medical committees regarding compensation entitlement.

The Representation Process in Ministry of Defense Claims

Our representation process begins with a free initial consultation meeting, during which we listen to all case details, assess the legal strength of the claim, and explain the possible ways to achieve compensation. Subsequently, we collect evidence, coordinate medical examinations, and establish a legal strategy tailored to the unique circumstances of each case.

Next, we send a formal compensation demand to the government entity, with the aim of reaching a settlement through negotiation. If a reasonable settlement is not reached, we file a lawsuit in the competent court (District Court or Magistrate's Court, depending on the amount claimed). Throughout the process, we conduct hearings, submit written arguments, and present evidence on behalf of the claimant.

What You Need to Know About Claims Against the Ministry of Defense

Strict Legal Deadlines

Tort Liability Law (advance notice) requires that a claimant seeking to sue the state or a governmental body must submit an advance notice approximately three months before filing the claim. This notice details the nature of the damage, the circumstances, and the amount of compensation sought. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in procedural complications or, in certain cases, dismissal of the claim. Our firm handles this notice with absolute precision, ensuring all required details are included in the prescribed format.

Determining Compensation Amount

The compensation amount in a claim against the Ministry of Defense depends on the type of damage (bodily injury, loss of income, medical expenses, emotional suffering) and its severity. In motor vehicle and work accidents, two categories of compensation are typically awarded: compensation for bodily injury (including pain and suffering) and compensation for economic loss (loss of income, future medical expenses). We rely on current case law, detailed medical reports, and economic expert opinions to justify the highest possible compensation amount.

The Role of National Insurance

In work accidents, the National Insurance Institute pays basic benefits to the injured party. However, a claim against the employer (or against a governmental body) can yield supplementary compensation, especially if negligence or failure to ensure safety is proven. Our firm coordinates the claim with National Insurance benefits, ensuring the claimant receives their full entitlements from both sources.

Common Defenses by Government Agencies

Government agencies sometimes use legal arguments such as: comparative fault (claiming the damage resulted from the injured party's own conduct), lack of causation between the action and the damage, or that the damage was not foreseeable or reasonable. We prepare detailed arguments to refute these defenses, relying on medical evidence, witness testimony, and prior case law.

Settlements and Dismissals

Claims against government agencies often conclude with a settlement, in which the governmental body agrees to pay a certain amount to avoid prolonged litigation. Our firm conducts strong negotiations to achieve a fair and optimal settlement. If a reasonable settlement is not reached, we are prepared to proceed to trial and present your case before a judge.
