A legal story that came to a conclusion last week involved the inspiring conduct of Avrech, a resident of the Central Region.
Fast track or regular track: will you decide how to receive your money?
The story begins when the father's son was on his way to his eighth-grade Talmud Torah studies when he passed by a local school. A ball being kicked at the school splashed onto a station with an air monitoring test tube that broke, and the shards of glass hit the boy's face and injured him.
The family members turned to attorney Benjamin Arbiv, who is considered a leading expert in personal injury cases, and realized that they were faced with a long and complex legal case. First, proof is required that this was indeed the case, and then the question arises: who is liable for paying the damages, because each of those involved is expected to try to 'throw the ball' into the other's court.
Indeed, during the trial, the operators of that air monitoring station, the educational institution from which the ball was kicked, and other parties were also involved.
Already at the stage of filing the lawsuit, the child's father made it clear to Attorney Arbiv that he would not agree in any way to his son being forced to withdraw from his studies, and if he were required to miss Torah studies - "then it's worth nothing to me and I agree to give up everything and even lose in court."
In the first stage, the child's presence was spared and the legal process began to unfold, but then the stage of evidentiary hearings arrived.
The evidentiary hearing was scheduled for a date during school hours, when it was almost impossible to move the date due to the large number of people involved, which made any change a cumbersome event. The father announced again that, from his perspective, it was better to give up and lose, provided that the son - who had meanwhile moved to a small yeshiva - would not withdraw from his studies.
Following this, Attorney Arbiv approached all those involved and somehow, along with other issues that arose and with a particularly great effort, it was agreed to postpone the discussion to the days between the times of Nissan - and then the great miracle occurred.
Suddenly, everyone was willing to accept the court's proposed settlement, which involved a handsome sum, given the relatively minor injury - a scar - after liability was clarified by presenting evidence, and all parties reached agreements on their part.
In the end, the diligent boy received compensation of 106,000 shekels, due to a small scar left behind from the injury, and certainly also thanks to his father's diligence in studying Torah, which left a mark.
