Tort Lawyer in Ramat Gan – Expert Representation in Personal Injury Claims

Tort Lawyer in Ramat Gan – Who We Are and What We Do

Mandelboim, Gor, Witzman-Gor & Co. is a boutique family law firm specializing in tort law and representing claimants exclusively in personal injury lawsuits of all types. We are based in Ramat Gan and provide professional and focused legal services to residents of Ramat Gan, Petah Tikva, Tel Aviv, and throughout central Israel. Founded in 2008 by attorney Karen Mandelboim, we have since provided expert representation to victims of traffic accidents, workplace injuries, insurance claims, and national insurance matters.

As tort lawyers (handling disputes over entitlement and amount of compensation), we manage our cases from the initial notice of claim through final resolution, whether by settlement or court judgment. We represent claimants exclusively, which means we apply all our efforts on your behalf without any conflict of interest.

In a personal injury lawsuit (tort), the claimant files a claim against the defendant seeking monetary compensation for damage suffered. The damage may be physical (bodily injury), emotional, financial (lost income, medical expenses), or property damage. In many cases, the claim is brought against an insurance company, which bears liability under the policy. Our task is to prove the connection between the defendant's conduct and the damage caused, and to assess the appropriate amount of compensation based on documented losses.

Areas of Expertise of Our Tort Law Firm in Ramat Gan

Mandelboim, Gor, Witzman-Gor & Co. specializes in handling various types of personal injury claims:

Traffic Accidents

Traffic accidents are a common source of personal injury lawsuits. Whether you were a passenger, pedestrian, or cyclist, we represent victims in claims against the responsible driver or his insurance company. We examine all aspects of the accident: road conditions, weather conditions, witness statements, police reports, and traffic camera footage. Every detail can affect the determination of fault percentage and compensation amount.

Workplace Injuries

An employee injured in a workplace accident is entitled to national insurance benefits, but often also entitled to a personal injury claim against the employer or third party responsible for the accident. We represent employees in such claims, coordinating with national insurance treatment to ensure that receiving compensation in the claim does not result in a reduction in national insurance benefits.

Public Negligence

Cases where a public entity (municipality, government ministry, kindergarten, school) is responsible for damage caused as a result of negligence. Examples include falling due to a broken step in a school, injury from an object falling from a public building, or injury from negligence in maintaining public space.

Insurance Claims

Insurance companies sometimes deny claims or offer compensation lower than appropriate. We represent insured parties in claims against insurance companies, examining policy terms, challenging the company's arguments, and seeking fair compensation.

National Insurance

The National Insurance provides benefits to workplace accident victims and injured officers. We represent insured parties in proceedings before the National Insurance, including filing claims, contesting denials, and appealing National Insurance decisions to appeal committees.

Damages Claim Process – Main Stages

When you contact our personal injury law firm in Ramat Gan, we begin with an initial assessment of your case. During the first consultation meeting (at no cost), we listen to your accident story, review your documents, and evaluate your entitlement to compensation.

Stage 1: Notice of Intent

In the first stage, we send a notice of intent to the defendant or their insurance company. In this notice, we present your claims, the damages incurred, and your request for compensation. The notice of intent also serves as evidence that we have initiated legal proceedings, which is important for suspending statute of limitations periods.

Stage 2: Evidence Collection

We collect evidence to support your claim. This includes police reports, traffic camera footage, medical reports, photographs from the scene, witness testimonies, and any other relevant documents. The more evidence we have, the stronger your case becomes.

Stage 3: Negotiation

After gathering evidence, we enter negotiations with the other party. At this stage, we present our evidence, discuss the appropriate amount of compensation, and attempt to reach a settlement. Typically, a settlement in an insurance case requires approval from the insurance company.

Stage 4: Filing a Formal Claim (if necessary)

If a settlement cannot be reached, we file a formal claim in court. At this stage, we submit a statement of claim, provide sworn testimony, present witnesses, and advocate for your claim before the judge.

Stage 5: Judgment or Settlement

At the end of the process, the court renders a judgment (or the parties reach a settlement). If we prevail, the defendant (or insurance company) is obligated to pay the determined compensation. If the defendant does not pay voluntarily, we assist with enforcement proceedings.

Costs and Contingency Fee Arrangement for Personal Injury Representation

A common question among injured parties is: "How much does a personal injury attorney cost?" The answer depends on the type of case, the expected compensation amount, and the client's financial situation.

Contingency Fee Model

At Mendelboim, Gor, Witzman-Gor & Partners Law Firm, we typically work on a contingency fee basis. This means we do not charge an upfront fee from our clients. Instead, we charge a percentage of the compensation we obtain for you. This percentage is set in an agreement between us, typically ranging from 20–30% of the compensation, depending on the case's complexity and the work required.

Advantages of the Contingency Fee Model

• No Upfront Cost: You do not need to pay money in advance to start your case. We invest our time and resources upfront, and we earn only if you win.
• Shared Investment: Since we earn a contingency fee from the compensation only, we are motivated to obtain the highest possible compensation for you.
• Reduced Financial Risk: You do not bear financial risk. If the case is unsuccessful, you pay nothing (except court costs in some cases).

Court Costs

In addition to the contingency fee, there may be court costs (such as expert fees, medical reports, photographs, document translation). Typically, these costs are paid from the compensation received, or we agree on a payment arrangement. In any case, we discuss every potential cost upfront, so there are no surprises.

Cases Where Contingency Fee Arrangement Is Not Possible

In some cases (for example, when liability is clear and only the amount is disputed), we may work on a fixed fee or hourly basis. In any case, we discuss costs at the outset and establish a written agreement.
