Minor Car Accident in Israel
This article addresses getting in a minor car accident in Israel. If you are traveling by yourself or with your family and end up in a minor car accident, this article lays out some basic steps to follow.
The Ministry of Transport and Road Safety oversees all issues surrounding car accidents and violations in Israel.
What to Do in the Case of a Minor Car Accident in Israel
First, if you or the other party is injured, make sure you call for medical assistance.
Second, document the accident by taking pictures of the other party’s relevant information (car license, insurance certificate, ID or driver’s license); the two vehicles, particularly the damaged areas; a photo documenting where the accident took place, for example, including a prominent sign or another easily recognized object.
Third, contact the police in order to have them document the accident and give you the accompanying paperwork.
Fourth, know that you are entitled to compensation for any injury that you might have. While in the moment, we often disregard any pain or don’t register it because of our increased levels of stress and adrenaline. It’s important to make a note of any injuries you are feeling and where you feel it at the time of the accident; you should continue to make a note of any changes or additional pain you may feel in the days following the event. If you need medical assistance, we advise that you call an ambulance, and you need to make sure that your evacuation from the accident is documented.
Fifth, if your minor car accident in Israel occurred during your work hours, you need to state this in your medical documents in order to claim National Insurance.
If you seek legal assistance, contact a traffic or car accident lawyer as soon as possible. The sooner you call a lawyer, the better they’ll be able to assist you.
