Claiming compensation for an accident in a large mall in Dubai
I am looking for advice on serving a legal notice to one of the large malls in Dubai after I had an accident and fractured my ankle in 2 places.
I am considering purchasing a Fixed Fee service from you - Drafting and Serving a legal notice to the mall management in regards to compensation.
I would like to know what would your professional fees be if I required your expertise beyond this fixed fee service?
I have been advised by a UK lawyer that because I am a western female, I will receive less compensation if negligence is proven, is this correct?
I am a professional businesswoman and this accident has caused me much pain, distress, and affected my ability to manage my business, so I would like some compensation for my losses.
Also if negligence can't be proven, I understand that the UAE has a no-fault compensation scheme so that I would receive compensation for injuries if no one is at fault, is this correct?
Could anyone assist me in this matter?
Thank you!

Dear Madam,
Good Morning!
As per UAE Law, there is no specified legislation on tort or negligence. We can claim compensation for the moral or monetary injury, which you have faced due to the accident.
In the UAE, as per Article no. 282 of Law no. 5 of 1985 and 292 of the Civil code, the amount of compensation can be claimed.
There is no such discretion in UAE in regard to the origin of a person when receiving the compensation, it depends on providing good evidence and proof the case.
Please feel free to contact us via phone or email.
We can provide you with proper advice and budgeted cost.
With regards!
