Frequently Asked Questions on Statute of Limitations for Tort Claims

The statute of limitations for tort claims is one of the core topics in representing victims and claimants in traffic accidents, workplace accidents, public negligence, and insurance claims. The deadline for filing the claim, interruption of the statute of limitations, and time calculation are critical — missing a deadline can seriously damage your rights.

On this page, we answer the most common questions relating to victims and claimants in tort law: what are the limitation periods, how can you interrupt or extend the statute of limitations, what is the difference between types of claims, and when you must consult an attorney. Every answer is based on current legal precedent and tort law in Israel.

If you have a specific question about your case, we invite you to a free personal consultation meeting with the Mandelbaum, Gor, Yitzhman-Gor & Co. team in Petach Tikva or Ramat Gan.
