<\/p>\nCalculation of compensation for a work accident \u2013 a sophisticated and complex mechanism<\/strong><\/h4>\nWork accidents can happen to anyone, anywhere. Injuries from work accidents vary in severity from case to case. They may be minor and temporary, but sometimes they leave scars for life, and entitle the victims to compensation that makes it possible to deal with the resulting damages and the loss of work capacity. In addition to the possibility of receiving insurance coverage as part of private workman\u2019s compensation insurance<\/a>, Israeli law<\/a> provides for a sophisticated compensation mechanism<\/a>, whose purpose is to compensate victims of work accidents temporarily, as well as to grant entitlement to compensation in the form of a disability allowance in certain cases. Various parameters are taken into account when determining compensation, and so it is difficult to predict in advance what exact amount of compensation will be awarded once the claim is filed. However, familiarity with these parameters may help victims of work accidents understand the full rights they deserve. This is important because the compensation for work accidents may reach extremely high amounts, when calculated cumulatively; sometimes hundreds of thousands and even millions of shekels.<\/p>\nTemporary compensation for a work accident (injury compensation)<\/strong><\/h4>\nThose who have suffered physical or mental harm as a result of an illness, accident or any other event, and the injury temporarily prevents them from being able to work, may be entitled to financial compensation known as “injury compensation”. This is the payment of compensation for loss of income for up to 90 calendar days. The National Insurance Institute is obliged by law to pay injury compensation from the fourth day of absence from work. To claim injury compensation, you must fill out a claim form on the National Insurance Institute website<\/a>, and attach all the relevant documents regarding the circumstances of the case, such as medical certificates, affidavits, etc.<\/p>\nDisability allowance – what parameters may affect the amount of compensation?<\/strong><\/h4>\nThose who are left with a disability due to an injury at work may be entitled to a disability<\/a> allowance. Claims for disability allowance that are examined by the medical committees at the National Insurance Institute are decided according to the circumstances of the specific case. The committees tend to take into account parameters relevant to the claim. One of these parameters is the type of disability caused as a result of the work accident<\/a> and the extent of its effect on the worker\u2019s ability to function. The more the nature of the disability limits the claimant\u2019s ability to work, the higher the compensation will tend to be. For example, an accident that caused damage to the claimant\u2019s legs and limits their ability to walk will lead to a higher compensation amount compared to an accident that caused damage that does not limit motor function. In the same way, the severity of the disability will affect the disability percentage awarded to the claimants. Temporary and minor damage to walking ability will usually lead to the awarding of temporary compensation, while permanent damage that requires a wheelchair for mobility will lead to the awarding of correspondingly higher compensation.<\/p>\nAnother significant factor that will affect the compensation is the victim\u2019s age. The compensation is calculated according to the remaining working years for the victim. Accordingly, those who were injured at a younger age will usually be granted compensation for a longer period of time, and the weighted amount of compensation will be correspondingly higher. The compensation will also be affected by the victim\u2019s salary. The higher it was in the period of time close to the date of the accident (3 months earlier), the higher the compensation awarded. The victim\u2019s previous medical condition must also be added to all of these. The rate of compensation for a work accident is determined based on the damages caused to the plaintiffs in the accident itself. The medical boards tend to deduct from the compensation the value of abnormal medical conditions prior to the accident. An exception to this is the option of claiming a combination of disabilities<\/a>, which is only possible in certain cases.<\/p>\nHow is compensation calculated by the National Insurance Institute?<\/strong><\/h4>\n
