What Can Be Claimed in a Traffic Accident
The Road Accident Victims Compensation Law is based on absolute liability — meaning no one's fault needs to be proven; it is sufficient to prove that you were injured in a traffic accident. Heads of damage include: past and future lost wages, functional and medical disability, pain and suffering, medical expenses, and assistance from others.
Compensation is calculated individually. For a young victim at their prime with a high salary and significant disability — compensation can reach millions. Age, salary, degree of disability, and dependence on assistance from others all affect the final amount.
Our contingency fee ensures our interests align with yours — to obtain the maximum possible compensation. Every case is examined in depth before a strategy is determined.
The Karnit Fund — When the Offender Was Unidentified or Uninsured
The Karnit Fund is the Road Accident Victims Compensation Fund — a government body that ensures no victim is left without compensation due to the offender's negligence. Karnit is approached when: the offending vehicle was not identified (hit-and-run), the vehicle was uninsured, or the insurance company went bankrupt.
Proceedings against Karnit are more complex than proceedings against a regular insurance company — and therefore legal representation is especially important. Karnit tends to mount a stronger defense in claims filed against it, so it is important to respond professionally to every argument.
Against Karnit as well — contingency fee only. You pay nothing unless you receive compensation.
What Not to Do After a Traffic Accident
The most common mistake: signing a release that the insurance company sends in the first days after the accident. Insurance companies usually offer an early settlement that looks reasonable — but waives all future claims, including for disabilities that may be discovered years later.
Another mistake: not seeking medical treatment immediately. Some injuries (neck injuries, concussion) do not hurt right away — but develop days or weeks later. Without early medical documentation, it is harder to link the injury to the accident.
Do not speak with insurance investigators without prior legal consultation. Questions that seem innocent can be used against you later in the proceedings.
Traffic Accidents in Jerusalem & the Region — Local Context
Jerusalem and its surroundings — Route 1, Route 443, Route 60, the Jordan Valley Road — are characterized by special driving conditions and high accident rates. Accidents on Route 1 (Jerusalem–Tel Aviv) and Route 443 (Jerusalem–Modi'in) are common and often serious.
Adv. Liron Yitzhak Elmaliach operates from Jerusalem and is familiar with the roads, the local hospitals (Hadassah, Shaare Zedek), and the relevant parties in the region. Initial consultation — on the next business day.
