Long-term Care Insurance Claims in Petah Tikva

What is Nursing Care Insurance and Who is Entitled to File a Claim?

Nursing care insurance is insurance that covers nursing expenses and personal care for victims of traffic accidents and work accidents covered by law. This is a type of mandatory insurance enforced in Israel by licensed insurance companies, and its purpose is to cover nursing care costs resulting from serious and moderate bodily injuries. Any person injured in a traffic accident or work accident who requires medical or personal care can file a nursing care insurance claim, provided that he or she has sustained a certain degree of disability or requires ongoing care.

Entitlement to a nursing care insurance claim is determined based on the victim's degree of disability, the type of care required, and the expected number of nursing hours. In traffic accidents, the claim is filed with the insurance company of the liable vehicle; in work accidents, the claim is filed with National Insurance or the employer's workers' insurance. In many cases, the victim needs legal representation from a professional attorney to ensure receipt of all entitled rights.

Who Needs Legal Representation in a Nursing Care Insurance Claim?

Every victim of a traffic or work accident who has sustained bodily injury and requires nursing care should consult with a specialist attorney. Insurance companies naturally attempt to reduce expenses, and often offer amounts lower than what the law requires. Professional legal representation ensures that the victim receives their full entitlements—including complete coverage of nursing expenses, compensation for loss of earning capacity, and handling of limited claims or disputes with the insurer.

Process for Filing a Nursing Care Insurance Claim

The process of filing a nursing care insurance claim involves several critical steps. First, the insurance company must be notified of the accident and damages sustained, typically within 30 days. Subsequently, medical documentation must be presented detailing the degree of disability, the type of care required, and the expected duration of care. The insurance company will review the documentation and offer a compensation amount. If there is a dispute or if the offer appears unfair, an appeal or legal action can be filed. In many cases, negotiation with the assistance of an attorney leads to a fair settlement without need for prolonged proceedings.

Types of Nursing Care Expenses Covered by Nursing Insurance

Nursing insurance covers a wide range of expenses related to the care of an injured person. These expenses include caregiver and nurse wages, costs of nursing homes or care facilities, medication and medical equipment expenses, physiotherapy and medical treatment costs, and more. Additionally, the insurance may cover expenses for home or apartment modifications to suit the injured person's needs, such as elevator installation or accessibility improvements.

Degree of Disability and Compensation Amount Determination

The compensation amount in nursing insurance is determined according to the degree of disability of the injured person. The degree of disability is determined by a medical committee that evaluates the physical and psychological damages incurred. Higher disability percentages result in higher compensation. Additionally, the expected duration of treatment, type of treatment, and the age of the injured person affect the compensation amount. Insurance companies use calculated tables to determine the amount, but an expert attorney can help the injured person understand the calculation and appeal if he believes it is unfair.

Differences Between Nursing Insurance and Bodily Injury Compensation

It is important to distinguish between nursing insurance and compensation for bodily injuries in general. Nursing insurance focuses on covering the expenses of actual treatment, while bodily injury compensation includes compensation for pain and suffering, loss of earning capacity, reduction in life expectancy, and additional difficulties caused by the injury. Often, an accident victim is entitled to both of these claims separately—a nursing insurance claim and a bodily injury compensation claim. A boutique firm like ours handles both claims in parallel, ensuring that the injured person does not lose any right due him.
