As explained above, prompt payments are an advance payment on account of damages awarded to car accident victims. Accordingly, the prompt payments will be deducted from the final compensation award. For example, if 500,000 ILS are awarded to the plaintiff at the end of the proceedings, and the prompt payments that have already been paid amount to 100,000 ILS, the damages paid at the end of the proceedings will amount to 400,000 ILS. However, it should be clarified that prompt payments are not supposed to reduce the amount of damages awarded, which is determined according to the actual injury suffered by the victim.<\/p>\n

What else is important to know?<\/h4>\n

It is important to emphasize that if a damage claim has not yet been filed and a decision is made to grant prompt payments, the law states that the plaintiff must file a damage claim. Failure to file a damage claim will lead to the termination of prompt payments. Also, car accident victims who are entitled to an advance payment on account of damages should know that they can request to increase or decrease the amounts while conducting the proceedings. For example, if their medical expenses or nursing expenses increase, they can apply to the court and ask to increase the amount of the prompt payments accordingly. In this context, it should be noted that it is important to keep records and receipts of the current expenses, which will serve as evidence in the context of the motion for prompt payments.<\/p>\n
