Road accidents

In Israel, compensation for bodily injury in a road accident is governed mainly by the Road Accident Victims Compensation Law. Fault usually does not have to be proved in order to review eligibility under the statute, but the event still has to fall within the statutory definition.

General information only, under Israeli law. Not legal advice and not a substitute for individual review.

Who this may be relevant for

This information may be relevant to a driver, passenger, pedestrian or rider injured in an event connected with the use of a motor vehicle. It does not decide that every event is a road accident under the statute.

What is reviewed at a general level

At an early stage it is important to keep general records: a report, insurance details if known, and medical follow-up. Do not use the site to calculate deadlines. An individual review is done with the attorney, not through a detailed form.

Points worth understanding first

The Road Accident Victims Compensation Law mainly governs bodily injury from the use of a motor vehicle, subject to the definition and exceptions. Not every event near a vehicle falls under the statute, and not every loss is calculated in the same way.

What to have ready for a call

It helps to know whether there was a report, whether the insurer is known, and what medical treatment has already been given. There is no need to attach a policy or a medical file to the form.
