Froehlich Farhi Law Office

Froehlich Farhi Law Office was established in 1989 by attorneys Ariel Froehlich and Nissim Farhi (graduates of Tel Aviv University), after many years of work in the field of tort law. Since its establishment, the firm has grown and become a leading and well-known entity in the field. Our office comprises 13 lawyers, 2 interns, and 6 legal secretaries. Throughout its existence, the firm has handled over one hundred thousand clients.

 

Firm's Specialty - Representing Victims Only

 

Froehlich Farhi Law Office represents only the victims—the plaintiffs. Since its inception and to this day, the firm has represented the weaker side, those who have suffered bodily harm—only the victims. The firm has never represented, nor will it ever represent, insurance companies, state institutions, hospitals, or large medical institutions—in other words, the defendants.

 

The advantage that the client enjoys in such a situation is the absolute absence of conflict of interest between the firm's employees and the clients. Those who do not represent insurance companies owe them no favors and are free to conduct litigation against them without any limitations or considerations. Only in such a situation is the client the main focus. This is a significant advantage not present in firms that also represent defendants—insurance companies.

 

Philosophy - Client Handling

 

The firm primarily considers the client's interests. The firm believes in full transparency with the client and strives to present an accurate, comprehensive, and truthful picture of the case. Cooperation with the client, in-depth acquaintance with them and all their personal data is the recipe for success in managing their case. The firm endeavors to avoid misleading the client and insists on realistic assessments of their chances and the extent of their compensation.

 

Areas of Practice

 

The firm deals with the entire range of bodily injury cases. Road accident injuries are the most common, and therefore this is the firm's largest area of practice, with an emphasis on managing claims involving particularly severe injuries. The firm also specializes in medical malpractice claims, insurance claims, representing work injury victims at the National Insurance Institute, general negligence claims, student accident insurance, and sports claim insurance.

 

Experience in Negotiation and Litigation

 

The large number of the firm's clients attests to excellent results, as a satisfied client recommends our services to others. The success stems from proper and professional management of the proceedings against the insurance companies—the defendants. Proper management of negotiations and the legal process.

 

The firm has managed thousands of claims in all court instances to date, including the higher courts, district courts, and the Supreme Court (including appeal procedures). The firm has achieved results expressed in hundreds of judgments, some of which have been published on court websites and in the press, and some of which serve as precedents studied in universities and various colleges. The firm's website allows for reviewing those judgments and the press articles that mention them.

 

Representation in Road Accidents

 

The firm has immense experience in representing road accident victims. Vehicle victims, motorcycle victims, car passengers, electric and regular bicycle riders, and pedestrians who were run over. The firm represents road accident victims of all severity levels, from minor injuries to severe injuries resulting in paralysis, amputation, or death. The legal precedents achieved by the firm are diverse. The compensation amounts the firm has obtained in major road accident claims are unprecedented.

 

Representation in Medical Malpractice

 

Managing medical malpractice cases requires significant and unique experience, including proper use of supporting expert opinions, proving the damage, managing a complex and lengthy legal process, and hearing numerous witnesses and various experts. The firm has been managing such proceedings for many years, and here too, the firm has achieved significant successes published on legal websites and in the press. Here too, unprecedented compensation amounts have been achieved.

 

Severe Accidents and Injuries

 

Severe and major bodily injuries from various causes (road accidents, work, medical malpractice) justify substantial compensation. In such cases, the defendants—insurance companies—have a reason for stubborn resistance to payment. They deploy their best lawyers, employ private investigators, and fight using serious external experts, summon numerous witnesses, and conduct proceedings designed to exhaust, deter, and lead to a low financial settlement. The firm specializes in managing such cases. The firm's lawyers have extensive experience in managing major cases. They routinely appear against the most serious lawyers of the insurance companies and before a variety of judicial instances that handle such cases. The firm has no conflict of interest or motivation for a low settlement, and these cases are conducted without fear until their conclusion.

 

Funding Legal Expenses

 

Sometimes managing a legal process requires advancing high legal expenses, mainly for fees and expert opinions. The firm assists the client in obtaining funding to manage the process and will not allow a situation where the victim is forced to forgo a justified claim due to lack of means. The firm ensures obtaining favorable prices and payments from experts or obtaining interim funding from financial bodies, all to help the client manage a justified claim.

 

Firm's Employees

 

Over the years, the firm has been meticulous in selecting its employees thoroughly. Most employees were chosen from among the many interns who interned at the firm over the years, and there is almost no employee turnover at the firm. Most employees have been with the firm for over a decade. All firm employees have extensive experience in court representation, representation before National Insurance committees, and negotiation management. Experienced and veteran employees are a great asset to a law firm, bringing stability and optimal and continuous management of the process from the client's perspective.

 

Assistance from External Experts

 

Managing bodily injury claims in all fields requires consultation, presentation, and submission of opinions from external experts, mainly opinions from medical experts and experts from many other fields. The firm consults and obtains opinions for its clients from the most knowledgeable doctors in all required medical fields.

 

The firm also works closely with economic experts, nursing experts, vehicle expense experts, disability equipment experts, safety engineers, actuaries (a type of mathematician), and pension experts. Proper and professional operation of external experts is of immense importance, as the experts are the ones who provide opinions in their fields, testify in court, and help persuade to award the amounts the firm demands.
