Questions and answers with Tort Lawyer in Jerusalem

1. What are the first steps to take immediately after a car accident to ensure compensation??

answer: Compensation for a car accident Compensation for a car accident is regulated by law. חוק הפיצויים לנפגעי תאונות דרכים (פלת”ד), תשל”ה-1975, המקנה זכאות לפיצוי ללא קשר לאשמה (אחריות מוחלטת) ונסמך על תיעוד מדויק. ראשית, יש לפנות לקבלת טיפול רפואי ראשוני (גם אם הפגיעה נראית קלה), שכן מסמך זה מהווה את “אבן הפינה” של התביעה. שנית, יש לאסוף פרטי עדים, צילומים של זירת האירוע ואישור משטרה. חשוב להימנע ממתן הצהרות לחברות הביטוח ללא ליווי של עורך דין נזיקין בירושלים, שכן כל אמירה עלולה לשמש כנגדכם בשלב הוכחת הנזק והזכאות לפיצוי לפי חוק הפיצויים לנפגעי תאונות דרכים (פלת”ד).

2. האם ניתן לתבוע פיצויים בגין “נפילה ברחוב” או בשטח ציבורי?

answer: Absolutely. Damage claims for public nuisance are based on the tort of negligence. To be eligible for compensation, we must prove that the local authority or landowner breached their duty of care towards you (for example: a pothole in the pavement, poor lighting or a wet floor without warning). At our firm, we use engineering and safety experts to establish the causal link between the nuisance and the physical harm caused, which significantly increases the chances of a claim.

3. איך נקבע גובה הפיצוי בתביעת נזיקין (מהם “ראשי נזק”)?

answer: גובה הפיצוי אינו אקראי אלא מורכב מחישוב של “ראשי נזק” שונים. אלו כוללים נזקים ממוניים (הפסדי שכר בעבר ובעתיד, הוצאות רפואיות ועזרת צד ג’) ונזקים לא ממוניים (כאב וסבל). במידה ונותרה נכות לצמיתות, הפיצוי נגזר מגיל הנפגע, גובה שכרו לפני האירוע ומידת הפגיעה בכושר השתכרותו. ניהול נכון של התביעה על ידי עורך דין מומחה לנזיקין בירושלים מבטיח שכל ראש נזק ימוצה עד תום מול חברת הביטוח או המזיק.

4. How long does it take for a tort claim to expire and what are the exceptions to this??

answer: ככלל, תקופת ההתיישנות בתביעות נזיקין היא 7 שנים מיום האירוע. עם זאת, ישנם חריגים קריטיים: בתביעות של קטינים, מרוץ ההתיישנות מתחיל רק בהגיעם לגיל 18 (כלומר ניתן לתבוע עד גיל 25). במקרים של “נזק סמוי” שלא ניתן היה לגלותו ביום האירוע, המועד עשוי להידחות לרגע גילוי הנזק. בשל מורכבות ההתיישנות והצורך באיסוף ראיות בזמן אמת, מומלץ להתייעץ עם עורך דין מוקדם ככל האפשר כדי לא לאבד את הזכות לפיצוי.במידה ועברתם אירוע נזיקי, פנו בהקדם אל משרד עורכי דין נזיקין בירושלים כדי לבחון את תקופת ההתיישנות הספציפית למקרה שלכם.
