Q: I was involved in a car crash in my immediate line manager's car in Abu Dhabi. We were stationary at lights when a second vehicle drove at speed into the back of the car, I was thrown violently forwards and cried out in pain when the seat belt restricted my forward movement and my neck made a cracking noise. The traffic police attended and called for an ambulance to take me to the emergency hospital for investigation and treatment. I was strapped to a spine board with my neck held in a brace. I was x-rayed and examined by the doctors and was told I had torn muscle tissue in my neck, for this injury they gave me medication that the company paid for. Eventually, my condition worsened and after an MRI scan, it was found that further injuries had been sustained.The police report made no mention of my injuries, yet the hospital report said the police had sent me and that I was injured. The third party insurers decline any responsibility as no injury was mentioned in the police report. What can I do?  

Q: I am seeking advice on behalf of my sister. My sister's husband worked for a company in Dubai and was away on business in Singapore, on a free weekend he took a leisure trip to a Malaysian island and was, unfortunately, killed in an accident. The company said that the business insurance will not cover the accident due to it being a leisure trip whilst on business. They are also withholding access to his laptop, although it is a work laptop, she feels there might be important policies, accounts and documents on it that are online only with no paper documentation. She will need to visit the UAE to sort out his flat and belongings, close any accounts he may have had and visit his employer to recover any payments due and discuss insurance payments. She has asked me to see if I can find any legal advice relating to these matters and to ask if there are points to be wary of, and, once she is back in the UAE I guess she will need legal representation in these matters.
