The firm’s unique approach, combined with its proven track record and professional experience, has led to a notable portion of its clients being referred by legal teams on the opposing side (including the National Insurance Institute, health funds, and insurance companies), reflecting recognition of the firm’s professionalism and quality of service.

Deep familiarity with the fields of torts and healthcare

Over the years, the firm has developed extensive knowledge, expertise, and familiarity with the healthcare system, the National Insurance Institute, and other relevant bodies. This foundation enables the firm to support clients in a comprehensive and thorough manner, provide accurate guidance for the full realization of their rights, and accompany them throughout every stage of the process. The firm operates on a success-fee basis and carefully selects the cases it undertakes. This allows for in-depth handling of each case, full attention, and highly attentive, personal service.

Areas of Practice

Medical Malpractice: This is a core area of the firm’s activity, covering a wide range of cases, including negligence during childbirth, pregnancy monitoring, surgical negligence, delayed diagnosis of diseases, failed dental treatments, and other medical procedures. The firm conducts an in-depth analysis of each case, keeps clients fully informed, and supports them throughout the legal process.

Road Accidents: Recognition of medical damages and obtaining compensation following road accidents may involve legal proceedings. The firm has handled numerous claims in this field and provides comprehensive support, including the appointment of medical experts. Clients benefit from close, attentive guidance through to the receipt of compensation. 

Workplace Accidents: The firm handles workplace accident cases and represents clients before the National Insurance Institute and all relevant bodies, including the filing of claims against insurance companies.

Personal Injury: The firm represents clients in personal injury claims at all stages, including liability claims against authorities or institutions due to accidents such as falls. As part of this service, the firm works to fully exhaust legal proceedings and secure maximum financial compensation, in accordance with the severity of the physical or emotional harm.

Insurance Law and Representation before Committees: Leveraging its expertise and extensive experience, the firm provides representation before insurance companies and the National Insurance Institute, assisting clients through to the receipt of compensation.

Legal achievements and precedents

The firm is responsible for a series of legal precedents and significant achievements that have influenced policy and legal practice in Israel:

Change in compensation calculation method (discount rates): A landmark ruling in which the firm successfully argued for reducing the standard discount rate from 3% to 2%, resulting in significantly higher compensation for loss of earnings and future expenses.

Recognition and full compensation for "lost years": A precedent-setting ruling establishing that in cases where a widower was killed in an accident and left behind adult children who were not financially dependent on him, compensation for lost years should be calculated using a method more favorable to the claimant (two-thirds), rather than the alternative one-third calculation. The court rejected the insurance company’s argument and accepted the firm’s position, effectively increasing compensation awarded to heirs.

Enhanced compensation in various rulings: The firm has represented clients in cases where courts awarded significantly higher compensation than customary, contributing to a shift in compensation standards. For example, in a road accident case involving a relatively low disability rating, future loss of earnings was calculated using a higher actuarial basis, leading to exceptional compensation. In another case involving the death of a minor, the court awarded unusually high non-pecuniary damages. In a separate case involving a deceased individual with a life expectancy of ten years, the court awarded substantial compensation after accepting the firm’s arguments.
