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. The Compensation for Road Accident Victims Law (PLATD), 1975, which grants entitlement to compensation regardless of fault (absolute liability) and is based on accurate documentation. First, you must seek initial medical treatment (even if the injury appears minor), as this document constitutes the “cornerstone” of the claim. Second, you must collect witness details, photographs of the scene of the incident, and police approval. It is important to avoid giving statements to insurance companies without the accompaniment of a personal injury lawyer in Jerusalem, as any statement may be used against you at the stage of proving the damage and entitlement to compensation under the Road Accident Victims Compensation Law (PALTD).

2. Is it possible to claim compensation for a “fall on the street” or in a public area??

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. How is the amount of compensation determined in a tort claim (what are the “heads of damage”)?

answer: The amount of compensation is not random but consists of a calculation of various “heads of damage.” These include financial damages (past and future loss of wages, medical expenses, and third-party assistance) and non-financial damages (pain and suffering). If permanent disability remains, the compensation is derived from the victim’s age, the amount of his salary before the incident, and the extent of the damage to his earning capacity. Proper management of the claim by a specialist tort lawyer in Jerusalem ensures that each head of damage will be fully exhausted against the insurance company or the tortfeasor.

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

answer: As a rule, the statute of limitations for tort claims is 7 years from the date of the event. However, there are critical exceptions: in claims by minors, the statute of limitations only begins when they reach the age of 18 (meaning they can sue up to the age of 25). In cases of “hidden damage” that could not be discovered on the day of the event, the deadline may be postponed until the moment the damage is discovered. Due to the complexity of the statute of limitations and the need to collect evidence in real time, it is recommended to consult with a lawyer as early as possible so as not to lose the right to compensation. If you have experienced a damaging event, contact a tort law firm in Jerusalem as soon as possible to examine the statute of limitations specific to your case.
