Most of us have experienced a car accident in our lives - either a minor accident with no casualties that left minor vehicle damage, or a more serious accident that includes casualties and severe vehicle damage.
After that accident, if we are insured, it makes sense that we contact our insurance company to help us sue the other party - in case we are not at fault of course.
But what happens in cases where we are not insured, or are to blame for the accident?
Do we deserve any compensation?
Attorney Tal Or from Ardkhiv, who specializes in the civil field, explains what is important to do immediately after a car accident involving tin damage.
"There are several possible scenarios in every car accident that causes tin damage - in the ideal case, both drivers are properly insured and a claim can be submitted directly to the relevant insurance company" , explains attorney Mardkhiv.
"However, sometimes the insurance company of one of the parties refuses to pay on the grounds of a lack of insurance liability. In this situation, a lawyer must be hired to represent the claimant in front of the insurance company and try to prove its liability, for example through an opinion that places blame on the insured driver or establishes joint liability.
"The situation The most complex is when one of the parties is not insured at all or has insufficient coverage.
For example, a young driver who used his parents' car without proper insurance.
In this case, the uninsured driver is exposed to a direct claim by the victim, without the involvement of an insurance company.
This is a very problematic situation for the driver, who may find himself owed compensation in very high amounts.
Therefore, it is extremely important to use a lawyer who will try to argue for the division of responsibility or even transfer the full responsibility to the insured driver."
What steps are important to take after a car accident?
"The event and the scene of the accident must be well documented using photographs. Second, all the details of those involved must be collected, including license and insurance numbers. Third, a detailed report must be submitted to the insurance company. And finally, if there are difficulties with acknowledging responsibility, it is highly recommended to get the help of a lawyer as soon as possible." .
Attorney Mardkhiv mentions that there are significant differences between a claim filed against an insurance company and a direct claim against the driver involved. A claim against an insurance company is usually slower and more cumbersome, but there is an advantage in that the insurance company has the resources to pay high compensation. In contrast, a direct claim against a driver Private can be faster but requires unequivocal proof of the defendant's guilt.
