Introduction
Traffic accidents are one of the leading causes of physical, psychological, and financial damage in Israel. When a traffic accident occurs, whether due to a vehicle collision or a hit-and-run incident, it is essential to know how to manage a legal claim to receive the compensation you deserve. In this article, we will review the types of traffic accidents, the legal process involved in traffic accident claims, and how Olga Averbuch Law Office can help you obtain the maximum compensation you are entitled to.What is a Traffic Accident?
A traffic accident refers to an unexpected event in which physical or property damage occurs due to a vehicle collision or negligence. Traffic accidents may include collisions between two vehicles, accidents involving a vehicle and a pedestrian, or hit-and-run incidents where the driver causes an accident and does not stop.Types of Traffic Accidents
Vehicle Collisions
Vehicle collisions are among the most common types of traffic accidents. Collisions can occur due to various reasons, such as excessive speed, lane deviation, drunk driving, failure to maintain a safe distance, or disregarding traffic signs. The damage can include severe injuries, property damage, and loss of earning capacity.Hit-and-Run Accidents
Hit-and-run incidents occur when a driver who caused an accident does not stop, does not assist the injured, and does not provide their details. Hit-and-run cases complicate the claim process and make it difficult for victims to receive their rightful compensation. In such cases, it is crucial to immediately contact a law firm specializing in this field to assist in filing a claim with the Traffic Accident Victims Compensation Fund and obtaining compensation.The Legal Process in Traffic Accident Claims
Initial Consultation
The first step in the process is an initial legal consultation. During this meeting, the attorneys at Olga Averbuch Law Office will assess your legal situation and determine if there is a basis for a claim. The consultation helps you understand your rights and the options available to you.Gathering Evidence
After deciding to proceed with the claim, the next step is gathering evidence. This includes collecting medical records, police reports, accident photos, witness testimonies, and any other material supporting your claim. In hit-and-run cases, cooperation with law enforcement may be required to locate the responsible driver.Managing the Claim
At this stage, the attorneys will prepare all necessary legal documents, submit the claim to the court, and manage the legal proceedings. This includes filing claims, responding to counterarguments, and presenting the case in court.Negotiation and Settlement
Most claims are resolved through negotiation and settlement with the opposing party or insurance companies. Throughout the process, the attorneys at Olga Averbuch Law Office will negotiate to secure the best possible compensation for you. Our goal is to reach a fair settlement without subjecting you to prolonged legal proceedings.Court and Verdict
If a settlement is not possible, the claim will be brought before the court. Our attorneys will represent you in legal hearings and ensure your rights are protected. At the end of the process, the court will determine whether the opposing party is liable for the damage and, if so, decide on the amount of compensation you are entitled to. Important to Remember! A settlement can be reached at any stage of the process, even after filing the claim in court!How Olga Averbuch Law Office Assists Traffic Accident Victims
