\n Torts & Medical Malpractice in Israel <\/h1>\n \n
\n
\n

The Torts & Medical Malpractice department at Vaknin Yariv Law Office represents victims of accidents, medical negligence, and personal injury across Israel. We fight for full compensation for lost income, medical expenses, pain and suffering, and future care – and we only take cases we genuinely believe we can win.<\/p>\n

\n Practice Areas in Torts & Malpractice <\/h2>\n \n \n
\n
\n

Medical Malpractice<\/h2>\n

We handle claims against hospitals, HMOs, and physicians for negligent diagnosis, surgical errors, birth injuries, incorrect medication, delayed treatment, and failure to obtain informed consent. Each case is built on independent expert opinions and a detailed reconstruction of the medical record.<\/p>\n

Road Accidents<\/h2>\n

We represent injured drivers, passengers, and pedestrians under the Road Accident Victims Compensation Law (PLATAT). Compensation covers medical expenses, loss of earnings, and pain and suffering – even where the injured party was at fault.<\/p>\n

Workplace and Third-Party Accidents<\/h2>\n

For workplace injuries, we pursue both the National Insurance track (work-injury benefits) and tort claims against the employer or third parties where negligence is proven. We also handle slip-and-fall, premises liability, and injuries caused by defective products.<\/p>\n

Personal and Disability Insurance Disputes<\/h2>\n

We take on insurance companies that wrongfully deny or underpay claims under disability, loss-of-working-capacity, life, and long-term-care policies. Insurers rely on policyholders not fighting back – we make sure our clients do.<\/p>\n

Frequently Asked Questions – Torts & Medical Malpractice<\/div>\n \n
\n
\n
\n What is the statute of limitations for personal injury claims in Israel? <\/div>\n
\n
\n

The general limitation is 7 years from the injury date. For minors, the clock starts at age 18. Some medical-malpractice cases may benefit from a discovery-rule extension. Timely action is critical.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n
\n Do I pay anything to start a case? <\/div>\n
\n
\n

Most personal-injury and medical-malpractice cases are handled on a success-fee basis – you pay only from compensation actually recovered. We explain cost structure transparently at the first meeting.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n
\n Can I sue if I was partly at fault in a road accident? <\/div>\n
\n
\n

Yes. Under the Road Accident Victims Compensation Law, compensation is paid on a no-fault basis, so partial fault generally does not bar recovery.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n
\n How long does a medical malpractice case take? <\/div>\n
\n
\n

From opinion to judgment, complex cases typically take 2-4 years. Many reach settlement earlier, especially once strong expert evidence is on the table.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n\n
