The firm, owned by Attorneys Miriam Kafri-Kahan and Aviva Yeshaya, has been operating for approximately 15 years, specializing in compensation for personal injuries, including road accidents, work accidents, injuries from falls, and cases of medical malpractice.

 

 

Specialization: Representation in Personal Injury Claims

We are committed to providing professional representation in personal injury claims at the highest level, to achieve maximum compensation in each case. We believe that specific expertise and focusing on personal injury compensation as an exclusive practice area is of great importance.

 

 

Legal Team:

The firm has a team of five attorneys whose exclusive practice is in the field of personal injury compensation claims in all possible variations, including compensation for injuries caused by road accidents, work accidents, falls or slips, medical malpractice, claims against the National Insurance Institute, and claims against insurance companies that insured the injured party under life insurance or disability insurance policies.

 

 

Each client case is personally handled by the firm’s owners, with an additional attorney assigned to accompany the case.

Attorneys Miriam Kafri-Kahan and Aviva Yeshaya, graduates of Tel Aviv University, have over 25 years of experience in the field of personal injuries and managing claims in court, as well as over 15 years of experience representing insurance companies in personal injury cases.

 

The extensive experience in representing insurance companies provides a significant advantage when managing compensation claims against them.

The firm includes an attorney fluent in Romanian and an attorney fluent in Bulgarian to handle cases where personal injury has occurred to speakers of these languages.

 

 

Medical Expert Opinions:

The firm consults with a large number of senior medical experts to obtain opinions determining the disability resulting from personal injury, as well as professional medical advice during the management of claims in court.

 

 

Filing the Claim in Court:

The many years of experience our attorneys have in handling personal injury claims allow us to manage claims in a way that ensures maximum compensation for the injury sustained. All cases in our firm are personal injury claims conducted in courts throughout the country. Since we appear in courts nationwide, we are free to file claims in any court, taking into account the timing and appropriate venue for filing.

 

 

Personal injury claims are generally conducted in court if a settlement cannot be reached with the insurance company before filing the claim. The legal advice we provide addresses both the medical and legal aspects. The firm excels in providing professional service, but the human aspect is no less important than the professional one, and each client receives personal attention throughout the proceedings until compensation is obtained.

 

 

 

How to Act in Case of an Injury Causing Personal Harm?

 

It is important to contact an attorney by phone as soon as possible after the incident causing the personal injury, whether it is a road accident, work accident, slip or fall, or a case of medical malpractice.

 

 

In any accident causing personal injury, it is crucial to report to a doctor about the pain and limitations you are experiencing due to the accident, as soon as possible after the onset of pain or limitations. The belief that injuries caused by an accident will heal over time and delaying medical treatment will lead to a claim by the insurance company that there is no connection between the alleged injury and the accident.

 

 

Regarding personal injury resulting from a slip, fall, work accident, or medical malpractice, it is crucial to seek legal advice soon after the event causing the injury, to receive guidance on documenting the circumstances of the event, recording names and addresses of witnesses, etc.

 

It is very important to collect evidence and document the scene of the event soon after the accident, as in many cases, the hazard causing the injury will be repaired after the accident, making it difficult to prove the claim. Additionally, all medical documents, prescriptions, referrals, test results, and any receipt for medical expenses or travel expenses related to the accident should be collected.

 

 

In cases of personal injury due to a road accident, for the first meeting with an attorney, it is necessary to bring complete medical documentation from the day of the road accident until the meeting, proof of mandatory insurance, a valid driver's license at the time of the road accident, and a police report if there was police involvement. If the road accident is also a work accident, the claim form for the National Insurance Institute should also be brought to the meeting, if a claim was filed.

 

 

Initial Legal Consultation Without Obligation and Free of Charge:

For the first consultation regarding a personal injury event, we do not charge a fee, and you can contact us by phone to schedule a meeting without any obligation. We will be happy to answer all your questions and help you achieve the maximum compensation possible for the injury you sustained.

 

 

Attorney's Fee Payment - Only Upon Receiving Compensation:

 

In personal injury claims resulting from road accidents, work accidents, slip and fall events, and medical treatment causing injury due to medical malpractice, we charge the attorney's fee from the compensation paid at the end of the legal process, and the injured party is not required to raise funds to pay the attorney's fee in advance.

 

 

Therefore, those who forgo legal representation and approach an insurance company directly to claim compensation for injuries sustained, in order to save on attorney's fees, are making a double mistake. Firstly, when the injured party is represented by an attorney, the compensation paid by the insurance company includes the attorney's fee. Secondly, the injured party who approaches an insurance company without an attorney and demands compensation finds themselves negotiating with professionals who deal exclusively with personal injury claims.

 

 

It is needless to say that compensation amounts for personal injuries vary through court rulings issued daily in various courts, and it is necessary to stay updated with court rulings as there is no law that includes a simple formula for calculating the compensation amount for personal injury.
