Guide for Israelis Facing Insurance Claim Denials for Property Damage

Many Israeli families invest heavily in their homes, businesses, and vehicles, insuring these assets with the expectation of coverage in case of disaster. However, policyholders often encounter significant hurdles when filing claims for property damage, including bureaucratic obstacles and attempts by insurance companies to evade payment.

When events like burst pipes, fires, or burglaries cause extensive damage, individuals can find themselves alone against powerful insurance systems. This is where a property damage lawyer becomes crucial. Such a lawyer possesses specialized knowledge in tort and insurance law, understands insurance jargon, analyzes policies, gathers evidence, and confronts company experts to secure the full compensation owed to the insured.

Eliab Rouimi, a lawyer with over a decade of experience in insurance, tort, and property damage law, heads a firm that handles claims related to water damage, fires, and floods. The firm offers services in Hebrew and English nationwide, emphasizing transparency and direct lawyer-client communication without intermediaries. Rouimi also educates the public on insurance matters and policyholder rights through free explainer videos on Instagram and TikTok.

The firm offers initial consultations and assessments free of charge. Following this, a formal, well-reasoned claim, supported by professional opinions, is submitted to the insurance company. The presence of an experienced lawyer familiar with industry tactics often leads to a fair settlement outside of court. If the company unjustly denies the claim or offers a minimal sum, the lawyer will file a lawsuit and pursue maximum compensation through the legal system.
