This article, “Car Accident Legal Help in Israel”, provides you with some basic information on what to do if you get in a car accident. The Ministry of Transport and Road Safety is in charge of laws and regulations around car accidents in Israel. 

Steps to Take – Car Accident Legal Help in Israel

First and foremost, if you and/or the other party are injured, call for medical assistance. The number for an Israeli ambulance is 101. If you want to call the police, the number is 100.

If everyone seems to be okay, we recommend that you call a transport lawyer who can help talk you through what to do and say, whether you are the offending or offended party in the car accident. (If you are only reading this after you have returned home from an accident, the sooner you call a lawyer, the better they can help you, even if you contact them after you have left the site of the accident.)

You should also document the accident. This includes photographing any damage from up close, how the cars appear after the accident, and a photograph from farther away with some prominent, recognizable objects included in the picture for context (a sign, a bridge, etc.).  

You need to get the other person’s information, including their car license, a copy of their insurance, and their ID or driver’s license. Either write down this information or take a picture of these items. 

We strongly recommend that you do not make any statement to the other party in which you plead guilty to causing the accident. Simply exchange the relevant information, and get in touch with a lawyer. 

If you need medical attention for more minor issues, then go see your doctor or go to Terem. Any pain you feel immediately after the accident and in the coming days should be documented, as you can claim compensation for bodily injuries.  

In the event your accident occurred during your work hours, you should document this as well, as you can file a claim with Bituach Leumi, the National Insurance.  

You should also contact a police officer to get a certificate confirming the accident occurred. 

Make sure you keep any and all documentation related to the accident, including medical paperwork or therapies that you go to as a result.
