Suing a salon for damages after a pedicure resulted in severe injury and distress

File a report with the police, and based on the report, you can file a compensation lawsuit.

Hello,

The key issue here seems to be negligence on the part of the salon or the technician who performed the pedicure.

If the technician used unsanitary tools or did not follow proper hygiene protocols, leading to an infection, this could be considered negligence.

Under UAE Consumer Protection Law (Federal Law No. 24 of 2006), service providers, such as salons, are required to ensure that their services do not harm consumers.

If the salon failed to adhere to basic health and safety regulations, such as sterilizing equipment, you can sue for damages.

You can also claim for emotional distress, pain, and suffering, which can be tied to the physical harm caused by the infection and the subsequent surgery.

The first step is to file a formal complaint with the Department of Economic Development (DED) in Abu Dhabi.

You can file a civil lawsuit in the UAE courts for compensation. This could cover your medical costs, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.

In Abu Dhabi, you may have legal grounds to sue a salon for physical and emotional distress under the Federal Law No. 24 of 2006 on Consumer Protection, particularly if you can demonstrate the salon's negligence, which includes establishing a duty of care, proving a breach through poor practices, and showing causation of your injuries, such as a severe infection from a treatment.

To strengthen your case, gather evidence, including medical records, proof of payment, and communication records with the salon, and consider reporting the incident to local authorities like the Department of Economic Development and the Health Authority in Abu Dhabi.

If you proceed with legal action, consulting a lawyer specializing in personal injury or consumer protection law will be essential to help file a lawsuit for damages, which may include compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and emotional distress.

Ultimately, meticulously collecting evidence and seeking professional legal advice will enhance your chances of successfully addressing your grievances against the salon.

You have a strong basis to sue the salon for negligence and claim compensation for physical and psychological damages based on the following:

1. Professional negligence: Failure to adhere to health standards resulted in your injury.

2. Damages: Medical reports and the surgery confirm the harm caused.

- Keep the following documents: payment receipts, WhatsApp messages, and medical reports.

- Take the following legal steps:

• File a complaint with the Department of Economic Development and the Ministry of Health.
• Initiate a civil lawsuit to claim compensation for material and moral damages.

Please send us the documents via WhatsApp or email.

There are several procedures involved in filing this compensation suit:

- Collect any receipts or payment confirmations from the salon.

- Save all WhatsApp messages related to the incident, including conversations with the salon staff.

- Obtain copies of all medical records, including prescriptions, lab results, and surgical reports.

- Take photos of your injuries, including before and after pictures, to document the extent of the damage.

The salon may be liable for negligence if they failed to maintain proper hygiene standards or if the technician performed the pedicure negligently.

If the technician was not properly trained or licensed, or if they failed to follow proper sterilization procedures, this could be considered medical malpractice.

Thank you for reaching out and sharing the distressing experience you've endured following your pedicure.

Under UAE law, specifically Article 282 of the Civil Code, any harm caused to another obligates the wrongdoer to provide compensation. Your situation appears to involve negligence on the part of the salon, leading to significant physical and emotional distress.

Given the severity of your injuries and the evidence you've gathered—including medical records, proof of payment, and WhatsApp communications—you have substantial grounds to pursue a compensation claim for both material and moral damages. This can encompass medical expenses, loss of earnings, and compensation for pain and suffering.
