Can I claim compensation for emotional distress and pregnancy loss?
Good afternoon,
A gentleman insulted me severely over the phone during a delicate moment in my life when I was pregnant. He conveyed harsh messages through chat, causing me to feel sick, panicked, and scared.
Unfortunately, I lost my baby after this incident. I have reported the matter to the police and won the case, leading to the confiscation of his phone and imposition of a fine.
However, I believe I deserve compensation for the mistreatment. Can I pursue damages, and if so, what amount can I claim for my loss and damage?

Dear Questioner,
Yes, you can claim damages in court for the emotional distress, loss of your pregnancy, and even financial losses you suffered as a result of the harassment, such as medical expenses or lost wages by the gentleman's insults.
The amount of damages you can claim will depend on the specific facts of your case, but it is likely to be significant.
But if the fine amount was given to you through the police station, you cannot claim for the same cause of action.
So we need to get more details on the fine amount, the date of the case, etc. to be sure to advise whether it can be taken to claim civil damages.
Dear Inquirer,
Hope you are doing well!
Please note that you can file a civil case for compensation and include your police case as a supportive document.
The compensation amount will depend on the extent of your loss.
Kindly ensure that you attach all relevant documents, including medical reports, and it is advisable to include a psychiatrist's report for comprehensive documentation.
If you have any other queries, you can reach us by phone or email.
I would appreciate it if you could leave your review and rate our advice if it helps you, thank you!

Dear Questioner,
In general, you have the right to claim compensation. The compensation ruling is guaranteed if there is a criminal ruling against him.
But the problem is that compensation is (often) not according to what people expect; it may be between 10 to 30 thousand dirhams.
However, if you can prove that the miscarriage was caused by that man, you may be awarded a higher amount of compensation.
