Why is it important to contact a lawyer?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

In Israel, a driver\u2019s license is not a luxury \u2013 it is a necessity. Therefore, if you have received a summons for an examination from the Medical Institute for Road Safety, you need a professional and experienced traffic law firm to help you keep your license. People who have no experience with this body may mistakenly think that this is a bureaucratic matter and therefore refrain from seeking legal representation.<\/p>\n

This is based on the assumption that there is no difficulty in passing the competency tests involved. In practice, to prevent the suspension of your license, professional experience and knowledge are required in order to prove that the driver is fit to drive. Therefore, without legal support, there is a good chance that the institute will recommend license suspension.<\/p>\n

For example, a driver referred to the Medical Institute for Road Safety will usually be asked to provide medical information. The documents submitted by the driver to the institute may have a direct impact on the decision whether or not to suspend the license. As part of the legal representation, the lawyer will review the driver\u2019s medical file and learn which documents describe the driver\u2019s situation in the most accurate way and will help them keep their license.<\/p>\n

Another reason why you should seek help in this situation is the option of filing an appeal. If the Medical Institute for Road Safety decides to suspend your driver\u2019s license, you have the right to appeal to an appeal committee within 30 days. An experienced lawyer in this field can detect the flaws in the decision and bring about the reversal of the decision and the reinstatement of the driver\u2019s license.<\/p>\n

Filing an appeal<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Often, the Medical Institute for Road Safety\u2019s decision to suspend a driver\u2019s license is granted with no real justification. For example, when the decision was based on an outdated medical document, or an incorrect interpretation of the driver\u2019s physical or mental condition. This is very common, especially when the driver faces this procedure alone without professional representation.<\/p>\n

This is no trivial matter \u2013 the suspension of a driver\u2019s license may cause considerable damage to the driver\u2019s quality of life. Moreover, there are many people whose livelihood depends on driving, such as bus drivers and taxi drivers. For them, suspension of their driver\u2019s license means direct financial harm.<\/p>\n

If your driver\u2019s license was unjustly suspended, you have the right to file an appeal to the committee at Tel Hashomer Hospital. To increase your chances of having your appeal granted and your license reinstated, you should be represented by a traffic attorney, who will make sure to formulate a reasoned appeal and represent to the committee medical documents and relevant opinions proving that you are fit to drive, in order to change the decision of the Medical Institute for Road Safety.<\/p>\n
