What You Should Do If You Are in a Traffic Accident While Working in Israel

If you are in a traffic accident while working in Israel, you should first follow the basic steps outlined when in a car accident in Israel, namely:

  1. Call for medical assistance if you or the other party need this.
  2. Document the accident and the surrounding scene of the accident.
  3. Exchange information with the other party (car license, insurance information, and driver’s ID or driver’s license information).
  4. Refrain from admitting guilt, even if you are the offending party.
  5. Contact the police to obtain a certificate confirming that the accident took place.

Assuming the accident took place while you were working, you must file a claim against the National Insurance (bituach leumi) within 12 months of the accident’s date. Only after this, a separate claim should be filed against the other party’s insurance company if they are the offending party. 

It is essential to be represented by an experienced traffic accident attorney if a charge is leveled against you or if you are filing a lawsuit against someone else. This can impact the amount of compensation you will receive.
