Q: Hi Sir, Unfortunately, we lost our elder brother, sister in law and 8-month-old baby boy in a road traffic accident on 13th Sept. 2019. One baby girl who survived the accident was critical with traumatic injuries and multiple skull fractures. This accident took place at Haima, Sultanate of Oman while the family was on the way back home to Dubai. The baby girl was undergoing treatment in Khawla Hospital, Muscat, Oman, from 15th Sept to Jan 9th. After which we have airlifted her to India for further treatment. Now, I need to apply for a claim for 3 deaths and 1 claim for the kid as the hospital authorities have issued a disability certificate with 100℅ disability. He was holding insurance from an Insurance Company. He had a comprehensive insurance policy (Orange Card) which covered both Oman and Qatar. It's been more than one and a half year now as we were busy with the kid's treatment. Can we please discuss the same further? I can be reached on the below numbers.

Personal injury involves an injury sustained physically, emotionally and mentally. The injured person is entitled to claim damages where he has suffered an injury due to the other person’s wrongdoing. The victim may file a case against the person, who is found guilty in a criminal case or his insurance company if the defaulter has secured himself by insurance. The UAE civil law allows filing a compensation claim for injury damages.

The Insurance Authority has introduced a new regulation to regulate all electronic and smart insurance operations practiced by licensed insurance companies, insurance-related professions [such as insurance agents, actuaries, insurance brokers, surveyors & loss adjusters, and insurance consultants] and marketing insurance policies through banks to the extent applicable to their nature. The objective of this article is to briefly discuss the changes that are introduced by the new regulation.

The provisions of this law, promulgating UAE Civil Code, govern the civil transactions in the United Arab Emirates. The commercial transactions remain subject to the laws and regulations applicable in their regard.
