Dr. Avidan, an attorney and physician by education, has extensive experience in various medical fields and is familiar with the intricacies of medical language and its translation into legal language.

Attorney Bar Chen Ashrov has experience in handling cases of bodily injury victims, experience gained from working in leading firms in the field of bodily injury.

 

The uniqueness of the firm is the combination of extensive medical knowledge and high legal capability. It is the ability to translate medical matters into legal language while determining whether they constitute events that establish grounds for legal claims.

 

The potential plaintiff will receive close and personal accompaniment, and the fee will be charged at the end of the legal process as a percentage of the compensation obtained (excluding ongoing office expenses).

So, what are the areas in which the firm operates?

 

Bodily Injury: Any injury to the human body, a consequence of an accident or illness.

Examples:

Bodily injury as a direct result of professional occupation.

Those who have suffered a "work injury" are entitled under the National Insurance Law to file a claim with the Work Injury Department of the National Insurance Institute. If, unfortunately, the injured party dies as a result of the work injury, the family members who were dependent on them are entitled to a pension or grant.

 

Handling claims against the National Insurance Institute requires skill and extensive experience, as the manner of filling out the claim forms is crucial. There are many rights that the injured party is not aware of during the management of the claim.

 

We accompany our clients from the beginning of the proceedings (preparation of the claim forms), accompany and represent before the medical committees, and if necessary, represent in the labor court.

 

Road Accidents

Road accident as a work accident

An accident that occurred in the employer's vehicle or during working hours, on the way to work and from work. It must be proven that the accident occurred in the context of work.

 

Other Areas the Firm Deals With:

Bodily injury resulting from an accident in a public area – falls, injuries in municipal urban areas, playgrounds

Bodily injury resulting from an animal bite

Bodily injury resulting from an accident abroad

Student injuries

Class action lawsuits

 

Medical Malpractice

It is the provision of medical treatment (diagnosis, surgery, medication) to a needy person by a treatment provider (doctor, medical institution, HMO, nurses, pharmacists) not in accordance with the accepted medical standard, resulting in harm to a person.

 

Not every case where a patient is harmed during medical treatment constitutes medical malpractice, hence the importance of obtaining professional legal advice from an attorney (who is also a physician by education) specializing in the field and who has the knowledge and ability to examine the case and the feasibility of filing a claim, as filing a legal claim has many implications, including significant economic implications.

Medical malpractice can occur in any field of medicine. During the handling of a medical malpractice claim, we ensure to gather all relevant medical records related to the medical treatment provided to the client.

The medical records are studied and examined from a physician's perspective (by the physician within the team of attorneys at the firm).

 

The cause of action is also examined with the assistance of medical experts, and if, after the examination, it is concluded that there is a cause of action, we will act to obtain a medical opinion from an expert in the field of the cause, which will be attached to the statement of claim filed with the court.

 

Student Accidents

Claims Against the Ministry of Defense

The Disabled Persons Law - Compensation and Rehabilitation stipulates that soldiers, police officers, and other security personnel are entitled to rights if they are injured and\/or fall ill during their service.

 

Claims Against Insurance Companies

Many of us have life insurance policies that provide various types of coverage.

The most common policies are the following:

Life insurance policy

A policy that provides compensation to the insured's relatives as defined by them in the policy in the event of the insured's death.

A policy that provides compensation in the event of loss of work capacity.

A policy that provides insurance coverage when the insured suffers a loss of work capacity due to illness or accident.

Dealing with the insurance company requires knowledge and skill to obtain the maximum rights resulting from the policy you hold.

Consultation with an attorney skilled in the field before notifying the insurance company of the occurrence of an insurance event will ensure your maximum rights.
