Security and Military Representation

Professional and compassionate legal support for security service–
related injuries

Military and security service often involve unique risks. Soldiers, combatants, and civilian personnel are sometimes injured in the line of duty or as a result of hostile acts. The Law Office of Efraim Vogdan specializes in representing individuals from the security sector, combining legal expertise with a deep understanding of the sensitive and complex nature of these cases.

Victims of Hostile Acts and War

Individuals injured as a result of hostile acts are entitled to special recognition and extensive rights under the Victims of Hostile Acts Law. Our firm handles all types of cases related to terrorism, attacks, bombings, and other recognized acts of hostility. Representation covers both physical and psychological injuries, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and the impact on bereaved families.

The process of obtaining recognition as a victim of hostile acts is complex and requires proving a causal link between the injury and the hostile act. This demands both experience and professional expertise. Our firm accompanies clients from the earliest stage, including gathering evidence, compiling medical documentation, and liaising with the relevant departments within the Ministry of Defense.

IDF and Security Service Injuries

IDF soldiers and members of the security forces who are injured during the course of their service are entitled to specialized care and compensation. Our firm represents clients in cases involving combat injuries, training accidents, operational incidents, and psychological trauma related to military service. Each case is handled with sensitivity to the unique circumstances of military service and the particular needs of soldiers and their families.

Representation in Proceedings With the Disabled Veterans Rehabilitation Department

The Disabled Veterans Rehabilitation Department of the Ministry of Defense is responsible for handling the claims of disabled IDF veterans and victims of hostile acts. Our firm has extensive experience in navigating this department’s special procedures, documentation requirements, and criteria for determining security-related disability ratings.

Representation includes accompanying clients in military medical committee proceedings, filing appeals against decisions made by the department, submitting requests for adjustments to disability percentages, and obtaining recognition for additional injuries discovered at a later stage. We recognize the importance of quick and efficient case handling, while preserving our clients’ dignity and protecting their rights throughout the entire process.

Special Rights and Comprehensive Support

Injured security sector personnel are entitled not only to financial compensation but also to a broad range of support services, including vocational rehabilitation, psychological assistance, housing adaptations, and family assistance. The firm ensures that clients receive all the benefits to which they are entitled, providing personal and professional guidance tailored to the sensitivity and complexity of each case.
