We (myself and my husband) came to Mr. Joshua Pex – for his professional advice – and we received such human warmth and caring attitude, that our hearts melted …

Incredibly knowledgeable, approachable, accessible, and evident across the board that they truly care about the people they are helping. They are quick to respond, engaged, and obviously top-notch lawyers. I couldn't recommend them highly enough. Thank you, Joshua and Itamar for your help with our Joint Life Application. You were a calming energy during a storm - always breathed a sigh of relief after speaking with you. It is so difficult to get straight answers from the Misrad Hapnim, but you guys are straight shooters. I appreciate your candor and evident integrity. Hope to work with you in the future, and will send everyone I know in need of legal aid your way. Thank you for your guidance and support.

I cannot recommend Nechama enough! Her expertise, professionalism, and dedication to her clients is unparalleled. From the moment I reached out to her, she provided clear and concise communication, and helped me navigate through a complex legal issue with ease.
Throughout the entire process, Nechama went above and beyond to ensure that I was informed and comfortable with every decision. She demonstrated a deep knowledge of the law, and was able to offer sound advice that ultimately led to a positive outcome.
What sets Nechama apart is her compassionate and empathetic approach to her clients. She truly cares about the well-being of her clients, and it shows in the way she handles every case.
If you are in need of a lawyer, I highly recommend Nechama.

I am delighted to report that my wife and I have just obtained our Israeli citizenship. We will be forever grateful for all of the help, guidance and support which Ariel Galili of Decker, Pex & Co. provided through this process.
I am a Jewish, 80-year-old American, and my wife is not Jewish. We had started the process on our own back in November 2020 via the Jewish Agency and Nefesh B’Nefesh, but soon became entangled in the delays and often-changing regulations due to Covid-19. The pandemic also caused delays in obtaining the required apostilles for various documents from various state agencies and the US State Department.
We found Decker, Pex & Co. On the internet and began working with Ariel in late November 2021. Ariel did a superb job of leading us through the process, helping us to understand which documents were essential, which would most likely be required, and which, though included on the list of required documents, were rarely required. He helped us several times to understand what was likely and unlikely to occur as “the next step.” Helping us manage our expectations was extremely useful to us.
Besides his knowing the laws, regulations and procedures, Ariel also made us feel that he was truly interested in helping us to successfully work through this process in as smooth, timely, and frustration-free manner as possible.
My wife and I strongly recommend anyone planning to go through this process seriously consider hiring Decker, Pex, Ofir & Co. and, specifically, Ariel Galili.
Morgan Jones

I was impressed with his incredibly solid character. He is trustworthy, fair, and goes above and beyond to advocate for the vulnerable. He is completely trustworthy and high caliber in his work.

For Advocate Joshua Pex.
We were in a devastating situation when my wife received an order from the immigration office to leave Israel within 30 days, without any explanation, after we have been married and in the process for six and a half years. We heard of Advocate Pex through a friend of a friend. We contacted Mr. Pex and he was ready to help us when he heard of our situation.
The service is amazing! Always ready to assist without regard to the time it takes. The advice Mr. Pex gave us was great, such as what to do, he gave useful links, and advice about which officials to contact. The price for the service was great!
The process until we received the extension for another year for my wife was not long (3 months). Things started moving once Mr. Pex came into the picture.
We highly recommend Advocate Joshua Pex! We achieved our goal and the fear of deportation has been lifted!
Michelle Long

We had a pleasure of working with Irena Rosenberg who assisted in getting our two U.S. born children registered in Israel and supported visa process for my wife in 2021. During the pandemic, my wife and I decided to move to Israel where I am originally from after living in the U.S. for over 20 years, but we had no idea how to go about securing visas before and after arriving in Israel. Irena is knowledgeable, reliable and competent lawyer who always had answers to all our questions which made us feel confident that everything would be fine with her assistance. We are now happily living in Israel and are so grateful to have Irena who is a genuinely nice person as our lawyer.
Dongdiet & Nellie
We are very happy with the services. Somehow they managed to translate the law lingo into language we actually understand 😉 and their outstanding YouTube videos helped us to have a better grasp of what process we had to go through. Their patience, clear explanation and experience are very valuable. It's also very nice to know that you will receive response promptly; it made us feel we can really trust their services. We recommend all those looking for immigration lawyers to get in touch.

Oded Ger did an excellent job by reviewing a modeling contract I was offered. Explained the bad clauses in the contract, and their possible consequences. Thank you for your amazing job, your professionalism, your consultation and honesty. You showed me from your experience how it can be done differently. It was the best decision choosing you as my lawyer.
I highly recommend this firm, especially Oded Ger.

We came to Mr. Joshua with so many questions (and most of all, with so many concerns and worries) …
When we explained our case to him, first of all, he calmed us down and helped us to see the big picture, which took away our fears;
Then he presented us with a detailed explanation and a few options to explore, and a timeline, how things work and necessary steps to undertake on our part,
We thank and highly recommend Mr. Joshua for showing us so much empathy, care and professionalism (!)
Gáspár Erőss
If you need to solve any complicated legal issue in Israel, don't hesitate to contact them. Otherwise you will loose hours/days/weeks with things that they can solve in minutes. They helped me to obtain my expert working visa in Israel and even after that they responded further questions and gave me advices related to administrative issues in Israel which saved me a lot of time. Irena Rosenberg and Michael Decker worked on my case, they are very professional and helpful. They will not let you down, feel free to contact them.
Lilian Granovsky
I can highly recommend these services!
Every time we turned to Joshua we always got a professional quick and helpful respond.

Courteous, clear, efficient service.
Almost any one of us might get injured in a road accident. How does a road accident is defined by law? Whom can you sue due to road accident injuries, and what are the criteria for a successful lawsuit? What does the law say about compensating road accident victims?
In this article, a tort attorney will elaborate on the relevant tort laws and the legal courses of action available for accident victims.
What is the legal definition of a “road accident”?
The Compensation for Road Accident Victims law (1975) defines a road accident as an “event in which a person was physically injured due to usage of a vehicle for transportation purposes,” whether the victim or another person were using the vehicle.
What is the legal definition of a vehicle’s “usage”?
Driving, entering, exiting, parking (including prohibited parking), pushing, or towing a vehicle are all considered vehicle usage. Additionally, an explosion or fire in the vehicle also defines as vehicle usage.
What is the legal definition of a vehicle?
According to section 1 of the Road Accidents law, a “vehicle” or “motor vehicle” is a “mechanical object that moves on the ground, especially for land transportation purposes.”
This definition includes trains, tractors, portable machines with motor capabilities, towed vehicles, or vehicles supported by motor vehicles. This definition doesn’t fit electric scooters and electric bicycles, for example.
How is a road accident victim defined?
A road accident victim is a person who suffered from physical or financial damage due to a road accident, in a condition that the person who caused the injury (whether it was a driver, a passenger, or a pedestrian) did so without any intention.
What is the legal definition of “damage”?
Apart from the apparent damages – physical injuries, illness caused by an accident, or life loss – the law includes mental or intellectual damage and even damage caused to a device that supports body organs’ functionality under the definition.
Who’s liable in case of injury?
In case of an injury, as defined in the Road Accidents law, the offender holds liability for compensating the injured party. According to section 2(a) of the Motor Vehicle Insurance Ordinance (1970), every vehicle owner must have insurance, meaning that the insurance company of the offending party is liable and is open to a lawsuit.
Karnit Foundation for Road Accident Victims
Are there cases in which no insurance company holds liability? Who should the injured party sue in such cases?
There are several cases in which no insurance company is liable: the offender doesn’t have insurance, the vehicle was illegally used, the vehicle owner is unknown (i.e., hit-and-run), and other cases, as specified in the law.
The “Karnit” foundation was established to handle these cases precisely according to the Ordinance (section 10).
The purpose of this foundation is to grant compensation to the injured party in the cases mentioned above when no insurance company is liable. Furthermore, there are some cases in which the injured party isn’t entitled to compensation from this foundation by law, but their dependents are.
In addition to the above, the Karnit foundation is also responsible for compensating Israelis or foreign tourists injured in areas under Palestinian authority. The compensation in these cases will be equal to those received if the accident was in the regions under Israeli authorities (section 12(d) of the Road Accidents law).
In which cases do the provisions of the law not apply?
There are some instances in which the provisions of the law will not apply: intentional incidents, accidents in which the vehicle was used to commit a crime or as an accessory to a crime; when the car was used without the owner’s permission, without valid insurance or if the driver’s license was out of date (unless it was due to overdue payment of the driving-license fee), and more.
What to do in case of car accident injury?
Collect the details of the driver and the insurance company. (Document the scene, including the location, and get additional footage if possible.)
It’s essential to file a complaint with the police even if they weren’t present at the scene of the accident.
Make sure to have a physical examination as soon as possible, even if there are no signs of physical damage or pain. The initial police complaint should include a description of the injury, location, and sensations. The report should also state that the incident is the reason for the injury. Additionally, ensure that everything said was documented in the medical summary.
If needed, consult with a psychologist or psychiatrist – in cases where the injury or accident caused anxiety, fear, or post-traumatic flashbacks.
It’s highly recommended to consult with a tort attorney specializing in such cases to fully understand the legal procedures, receive guidance, and potentially sue the liable entity.
Like in all tort cases, it’s essential to save all the documents, including receipts of any expenses related to the accident or its consequences. Make sure to document every medical visit, police complaint, and expert opinion related to the incident.
This article is not a substitute for legal or medical advice regarding injury or damage caused in a car accident.
