Traffic Accident on the Job in Israel
This article discusses what will happen if you’re in a traffic accident on the job in Israel.

First Things First
The first thing to assess is whether you or the other party is injured. If so, call for medical assistance. If all parties are okay, then you can proceed to follow specific steps everyone should take when in a car accident, like exchanging information and photographing the damage, among others, discussed in our article, Car Accident Legal Help Israel.
Traffic Accident on the Job in Israel
If you are in a traffic accident while working, you must file a claim against the National Insurance, Bituach Leumi, in order to obtain compensation for a work injury. People often want to know what compensation consists of, and it generally includes the severity of the injury and the subsequent impact on one’s earning capacity, the injured party’s age, level of wages when injured, and personal circumstances, among other criteria. The claim against Bituach Leumi must be filed within one year of the accident.
After this initial claim is filed, you must file a claim against the insurance company, which is more customary in car accidents. Often the insurance company will deduct compensation based on the amount Bituach Leumi is giving.
