Insurance Claims Attorney — Who Needs One and Why
A claim against an insurance company is a complex legal process that requires deep knowledge of insurance law, the rights of the insured, and procedures for presenting claims to insurance companies. Not every insured person knows they have the right to legal representation in an insurance claim, and insurance companies rely on the fact that many will not consult with an attorney.
In Ramat Gan and its surroundings, the law office of Mandelboim, Gor, Witzman-Gor and Partners provides full representation to victims of traffic accidents, work accidents, household incidents, or any other damage covered by an insurance policy. We specialize in representing claimants only — meaning we are always on your side, not on the insurance company's side.
When you are injured in an accident and suffer bodily injury or economic loss, your insurance company is obligated to pay compensation. However, in practice, insurance companies use various tactics to reduce the compensation amount: underestimating damages, rejecting claims based on minor arguments, or delaying their response for months. This is where an insurance claims attorney comes in — to protect your rights and ensure you receive the full compensation you are entitled to.
Why Consult with an Insurance Claims Attorney Early On
- Accurate Damage Assessment: An attorney knows how to calculate the full extent of damages — bodily injuries, medical expenses, loss of income, emotional suffering, property damage, and national insurance. Insurance companies sometimes ignore important components.
- Quick Response to Rejections: If your insurance company has rejected your claim, an attorney can file an appeal or file a lawsuit in court within the required timeframe.
- Negotiation with the Insurance Company: Insurance companies use their own attorneys. You need your own attorney to level the playing field.
- Avoiding Legal Mistakes: There are deadlines you must meet, documents you must file, and legal details that matter. A small mistake can result in your claim being rejected.
Insurance Claim Lawsuit — Process and Stages
When you contact an insurance claim attorney in Ramat Gan, the process is typically divided into clear stages:
Stage 1: Initial Consultation and Case Development
In the first meeting (free of charge), an attorney will gather information about the accident, damages, your policy, and all correspondence with the insurance company. At this stage, we assess whether you have a legitimate legal issue and whether you can file a claim.
Stage 2: Claim Preparation and Damages Assessment
Based on the information collected, we prepare a detailed claim outlining all damages incurred. This includes reviewing medical records, receipts, testimonies, and expert opinions in complex cases. We calculate compensation in an organized and justified manner.
Stage 3: Filing the Claim with the Insurance Company
We send the formal claim to the insurance company, along with all supporting documents. The insurance company must respond within a statutory deadline (typically 30 to 60 days, depending on the claim type).
Stage 4: Negotiation or Legal Proceedings
Often, the insurance company will offer a settlement (monetary amount) in response to your claim. We negotiate on your behalf to achieve the highest possible amount. If no agreement is reached, we file a lawsuit in court. In court, we represent you before the judge through the conclusion of the proceedings.
Stage 5: Receiving Compensation
Following settlement or court judgment, the insurance company pays the compensation. We verify that payment has been received in full.
Types of Damages You Can Claim
- Personal Injury Damages: Compensation for pain, suffering, loss of earning capacity, permanent disability, and future medical treatment.
- Medical Expenses: All expenses incurred as a result of the injury — surgeries, treatments, medications, physiotherapy.
- Loss of Income: If you were unable to work during the recovery period, you are entitled to compensation for lost income.
- Emotional Distress: Trauma, depression, and anxiety resulting from the accident.
- Property Damages: If your property was damaged in the accident (vehicle, phone, clothing, etc.).
- National Insurance: In some cases, National Insurance pays you a monthly benefit or lump-sum payment. We incorporate this into compensation calculations.

Differences Between Various Insurance Claims
Not all insurance claims are the same. The type of claim depends on the type of accident or damage, and each type has its own legal nuances.
| Claim Type | Who Pays | Type of Damage | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Traffic Accident | Mandatory insurance or the other driver's insurance company | Injury, property damage, medical expenses | Short deadlines for filing a claim; typically 3 years from the date of the accident |
| Work Accident | National Insurance + employer (if negligence is proven) | Work injury, loss of earning capacity, disability | There is an initial procedure with the National Insurance; afterward, you can sue the employer |
| Public Negligence | Public authority / Ramat Gan municipality | Damage caused by negligence of a public body | More difficult to prove negligence; requires in-depth legal analysis |
| Damage to Home or Business | The homeowner's or business owner's insurance company | Property damage, injury due to hazardous conditions | Must prove that the property owner knew or should have known about the risk |
| Challenge to Claim Rejection | Insurance company (if a previous claim was rejected) | Proof that the rejection was legally incorrect | Must analyze the grounds for rejection and refute them in court |
Each of these claims requires a different legal strategy. Therefore, it is important to consult with a lawyer specializing in insurance claims who understands these differences.
