Possibility of bail in case of detention for construction site accident
Dear Sir,
I have my friend in detention in Al Barsha police station for accidental death in a construction site. His team on site had employed fewer labours for work and one of those guys died in an accident.
The police had detained my friend as he is the owner of the company. The police case report number is only available and they have not still transferred it to the public prosecution.
Is it possible to get bail before the case being transferred?
Yes, he can get bail in this case after submitting a bond that can be his passport as ordered by Public prosecution, and you can apply for his bail online on public prosecution website.
Most probably, if he was found guilty of this accidental death, then he may be penalized with jail term or fine and he has to pay blood money that is maximum AED 200,000 to the legal heirs of the deceased.
Later, the legal heirs of the deceased can also file a civil compensation claim in the court for damages. Therefore, advise your friend to appoint a lawyer and submit proper defence in the case.
We deal with such kind of accident cases. For details, you can contact me directly on the phone.
