Compensation for an accident caused by a school car driver

You have the right to claim damages for the accident that can be physical, mental, financial, etc.

A criminal report was recorded at the time of the accident so, after the judgment of the criminal case, you can file a civil case in the civil court for your compensation against the defaulter or his insurance.

You need to submit criminal court judgment as a supporting document. You should also submit your medical report, expenses bills, other supporting documents of losses and income.

You will be compensated by the insurance company of the defaulter in absence of the defaulter, the driver, who needs to pay the damages.

You can make a settlement with the insurance company in this situation. The insurance company always offers a very low amount, therefore, it is always recommended to file a case in the civil court by appointing a lawyer and getting a reasonable amount of compensation.

We are experts in accident compensation cases, therefore, you may contact me directly via phone or email for further consultation.

Dear questioner,

You have the right to claim compensation according to Article 282 of Federal Law No. (5) of 1985 promulgating the Civil Transactions Law of the United Arab Emirates, as amended by Federal Law No. (1) of 1987 AD which states:

"All damages to others are obligatory for the perpetrator, even if he is not distinguished, to guarantee the damage"

You can file a civil case after issuing a final criminal judgment and submitting medical documents and reports to the court.

The court rules on the appropriate amount of compensation.

Do not hesitate to contact us for more details and legal advice in order to obtain your right.
