Can I seek damages in a civil case after my criminal case concludes without compensation?
Hello sir, good afternoon!
I have an ongoing criminal case, but according to the information I am getting online, I will not be compensated.
If the criminal case is over, can I file a civil case later to ask for damages?
Kindly advise!
Dear Questioner,
Thanks for your inquiry!
Regarding the above, we would like to inform you that, yes, you can file a civil case for damages after the criminal case is over.
However, it is important to note that the outcome of the criminal case may have an impact on the civil case.
For example, if the defendant is found not guilty in the criminal case, it may be difficult to prove their liability in the civil case.
It is best to consult with us as a lawyer to assess the strength of your case and determine the best course of action.
Greetings,
Dear Questioner,
Yes, in the UAE, you can generally file a civil case for damages even after a criminal case is over, assuming the criminal case relates to your situation.
A criminal conviction can be strong evidence in your civil case for damages. However, even without a criminal conviction, you can still pursue a civil case if you have other evidence to prove your losses.
