Other Serious Personal Injuries

Understanding the injury. Building the way forward.

A fall in a public place, a safety hazard or an injury to a child can affect the injured person and their family for years. Mazar & Co. handles personal injury liability claims, focusing on serious injuries, significant disabilities and loss of life. We also handle personal accident insurance claims and cases involving abuse in nurseries and daycare settings. Adv. Yosefy Mazar provides personal guidance and direct contact from the initial assessment through the proceedings.

Building the case from the details

We establish what happened, where it happened, who was present and what evidence exists. We examine the parties involved and the resulting harm. Where appropriate, we also review maintenance, safety, supervision and insurance records and consult suitable experts.

Special attention to injured children

Parents may face uncertainty about the long-term effects of an injury. Alongside treatment and immediate concerns, questions may arise about development, education, independence and assistance. We get to know the child and family, understand what has changed, and assess present and future needs with sensitivity and personal contact.

Beyond the initial injury

Depending on the case, we consider physical limitations and psychological effects; medical treatment and rehabilitation; reduced earning capacity; daily and household assistance; mobility and housing adaptations; and the lasting impact on the child, injured person and family.

What to prepare for the first conversation

If available, gather photos or videos of the location and hazard; witness details; reports and correspondence; medical records and hospital discharge summaries; insurance policies and insurer letters; and records of expenses and assistance. You do not need to wait until everything is available. We will explain what further material may be needed.

Questions from injured people and families

I do not know who was responsible. Can I contact you?
Yes. Identifying the parties involved is part of the assessment. Start by describing what happened and showing the evidence available.

The hazard has already been repaired. Can the case be reviewed?
Yes. We will establish what evidence was preserved, whether witnesses were present and what other records exist.

Can parents contact the firm about an injured child?
Yes. You can describe the circumstances and the child’s condition. We will explain the requirements for taking the matter forward.

I received a letter from an insurer. What should I prepare?
Bring the letter, policy if available and earlier correspondence so we can understand the current position.

Your circumstances are not listed?

You can contact us even if you are unsure how to describe the event or it differs from these examples. We will listen, review the information and consider whether we can represent you.
