Car Accident - Call a Traffic Lawyer in Israel

This article — Car Accident – Call a Lawyer in Israel — lays out why you should call a lawyer when you’re in a car accident in Israel.

All issues surrounding car accidents are overseen by the Israeli Ministry of Transport and Road Safety.

When Police Are Involved

In both minor and serious car accidents, Israeli police often bring in a traffic examiner who will represent the prosecution. The examiner looks at the scene, assesses the circumstances and severity of the accident, and accordingly, assigns blame. This is one of the preliminary steps in building a case and making a charge, especially when negligence is assumed by one of the parties in the accident.

In the event that a file is charged against you, your lawyer may order an independent traffic examiner to explore this from the defense’s point of view. An independent examiner can raise points the prosecution’s examiner does not, and, potentially, reduce the charges or damages leveled against the guilty driver, in some cases acquitting the accused driver.

Additional Reasons to Consult a Lawyer

Contacting a car accident or traffic lawyer as quickly as possible will help you make the best decisions whether you caused the accident or not. This is especially important when you or someone with you is injured. It is best to contact a lawyer while at the scene of the accident, but if you are already home or some time has passed, contact the lawyer immediately. The lawyer can help advise you on what to say or how to behave at the scene of the accident, provide guidance if you are summoned for an investigation, and more. Additionally, a lawyer can help deal with your case quickly and efficiently, ensuring your interests are best represented.
