Legal Assistance for Car Accident in Israel – What to Do

First, if anyone is injured, you or the other party, call for immediate medical assistance. If you need to obtain medical treatment, it is important to document why you are doing so. If you need to evacuate the site due to an injury, it is advisable to call an ambulance. Even if you are in a self-inflicted car accident, call an ambulance as it is helpful to have this documented.
When leaving the hospital or medical clinic, make sure the reason for your evacuation is listed in your discharge documents. It is very important to write down all the pain symptoms you feel immediately after or in the days after an event. All of these steps are important for possible insurance claims moving forward.
Second, make sure you take pictures of your vehicle, the other vehicle, any damaged property around you, and also a few shots showing where the accident happened. The last photo specified can include a traffic sign or other prominent object near the site of the accident which may be helpful at a later time.
Third, take photos of the other party’s driver’s license or ID card, insurance certificate, and car license number.
