Why Choose a Car Accident Attorney?

Handling a tort claim following a car accident is a complex process. It includes evidence gathering, consultation with medical experts, filing a claim with insurance or national insurance, negotiation with the opposing party's damage assessors, and filing a lawsuit in court if no settlement is reached.

The Claims Process in Traffic Accidents — Stages and Course of Action

When you are injured in a traffic accident, the most important thing is to protect your health and take the correct legal steps at the right time. Below is an overview of the typical process in damage claims in traffic accidents:

Stage 1: Evidence Collection and Documentation

Immediately following the accident, it is essential to collect evidence: police report, photographs of the accident scene, medical certificates, treatment invoices, and witness statements. A traffic accident attorney will know exactly which documents are needed to prove the extent of damages and the liability of the opposing party. At this stage, it is important to avoid making admissions to the opposing party or their insurance company, and all communication should be conducted through your attorney.

Stage 2: Medical Evaluation and Damage Assessment

After your medical condition stabilizes, a professional assessment of the degree of disability, loss of earning capacity, and non-pecuniary damages is necessary. This is typically conducted by a specialist physician appointed by the attorney, and sometimes with the participation of the National Insurance medical committee. Based on this assessment, the fair compensation amount is determined.

Stage 3: Filing a Claim and Negotiation

The attorney sends a formal demand letter to the defendant's insurance company (or to the National Insurance, if the claim is under national insurance law). The demand includes medical details, detailed damage calculations, and legal basis. Thereafter, negotiations between the parties commence. At this stage, the attorney's experience in negotiating with insurance adjusters is essential to achieving a favorable settlement.

Stage 4: Settlement or Filing a Lawsuit in Court

If negotiations lead to a settlement, it is documented in a signed agreement. If no settlement is reached, the attorney files a statement of claim with the district court or civil court, depending on the claim amount. At this stage, the proceedings become more formal and involve notices, responses, hearing sessions, and ultimately—a judgment from the judge.

Stage 5: Enforcement of Judgment and Receipt of Compensation

Following a favorable judgment, the insurance company or defendant must pay the determined amount. If immediate payment is not made, the attorney can initiate enforcement proceedings to ensure receipt of the funds.

Types of Damages in Traffic Accidents and Compensation Calculation

Compensation in a personal injury claim following a traffic accident comprises several components, each calculated separately and in accordance with the specific circumstances of the case. Understanding these components is essential to knowing what constitutes fair compensation:

Economic Damages (Material Damages)

Medical Expenses: All expenses related to medical treatment — examinations, surgeries, medications, rehabilitation, and physiotherapy — are included in the compensation. It is important to retain all invoices and medical records as evidence.

Loss of Income: If you are unable to work due to your injury, you are entitled to compensation for lost income. This includes wages you did not receive during the recovery period, as well as reduction in future income if the disability prevents you from working at full capacity.

Additional Expenses: Expenses for home care (assistance with household work, childcare, transportation to medical appointments) if they are necessary due to the injury.

Non-Economic Damages (Non-Pecuniary Damages)

Pain and Suffering: Compensation for the physical and emotional pain you experienced. This is usually calculated based on the duration of the accident's effects, the degree of disability, and the type of injury.

Impairment of Work Capacity: If the disability is permanent or temporary and causes a reduction in work capacity, you are entitled to compensation. This is calculated according to the percentage of disability determined by a medical expert.

Other Non-Pecuniary Damages: Impairment of social life, dignity, comfort, and family life — all of these can be assessed as non-pecuniary damages.

Example of Compensation Calculation (General Scenario)

Suppose a person is injured in a traffic accident with permanent disability of 20%. Compensation may include:

• Medical Expenses: ₪50,000
• Loss of Income (6 months): ₪36,000
• Pain and Suffering: ₪100,000–150,000 (depending on the court's position)
• Impairment of Work Capacity (20% for the period): ₪80,000–120,000
• Estimated Total: ₪266,000–356,000

This is a general example only. Each case is examined on its merits, and depending on the injured party's age, family status, occupation, and other circumstances, the compensation may be higher or lower. An attorney specializing in traffic accident cases knows how to assess compensation accurately and effectively.
