Workplace accidents and employer liability

A workplace injury may open more than one path: a National Insurance work-injury process, and sometimes a civil-liability review toward an employer or a third party. The paths are not the same, and one does not automatically replace the other.

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

Who this may be relevant for

May be relevant to an employee, a contractor’s worker or anyone injured in a work setting. This is not a finding that the employer is liable, and it is not employment-law advice as a separate field.

What is reviewed at a general level

At a general level the circumstances of the injury and the medical treatment are recorded, and existing reports are reviewed. Deadline calculations or a conclusion on liability are made only after an individual review.

Points worth understanding first

A workplace injury may open a National Insurance path and sometimes also a civil review. These are different processes. This page is not employment-law advice as a separate field and does not find that the employer is liable.

What to have ready for a call

Briefly describe where it happened and what has already been reported. Do not send payslips, contracts or a medical file through the form.
