About Insurance Types

There are a number of different insurances that cover property damage. Any bodily injury is covered by obligatory insurance. Non-obligatory insurances, like comprehensive plans, cover property damage.

Filing a Claim for Compensation for Property Damage for a Car Accident in Israel

If you wish to file a claim for compensation of property damage, you can file it against the offending driver’s insurance company. In the event that the person does not have an insurance company, you can file the claim against the offending driver. Disputes that arise regarding what should be compensated or who is to blame for the accident go through the Traffic Offenses Court. Generally, though, the insurance companies decide on disputed matters with their own lawyers.

Injury during Work Hours

If you are in an accident while working, you can file a claim against the National Insurance (bituah leumi) to obtain compensation for a work injury. It is important to file this claim within one year of the accident. Then, you should also file a claim against the insurance company of the offending party. This will yield two separate compensations, although insurance companies can deduct bituah leumi compensation from the insurance company compensation.
