Q: Good day!
I've had an accident a month ago and I took my car for repair and have signed a paper to proceed for repair under the advice of my insurance company.
After 1 month, I checked the status of my car and the repair shop asked me to transfer my car to another shop.
I drove my car for transfer I noticed that my car has some humming sounds, and it is shaking/having some vibration when it is accelerated to 60. I informed the shop and they said it will not be under insurance.
Now, what I am asking from my insurance company is to just make my car roadworthy and without the vibrations/humming sound but they are refusing as they are saying it was because of the normal wear and tear and not because of the accident.
But before the accident, my car didn't have any issues like what it has now.
My question is, do I have any right to ask the insurance to make my car roadworthy before it is released from the repair shop?
Thank you

Issuing a police letter of a car damage for the insurance company to repair it
2
Q: Hi,
My car was hit by another party who was under the influence of alcohol. The incident happened in Sharjah where my car was in paid parking and the other party drove the car to the parking and hit my car.
Now, this has been taken to the court. Unfortunately, I am not able to repair my car nor the insurance company, because they are asking for a police letter which was not provided by the police.
Since it's not my mistake, why the court or the police are not providing me with the police report?
What shall I do to get the police letter?

Liability for medical costs in a rented car accident
2
Q: Hello.
I'm a tourist. I got a car accident last June. The police gave me a green report for car damage. After 2 days I felt pain, so I went to see a doctor.
Because I don't have a health insurance, the medical cost was very expensive for me. So after that, I couldn't see a doctor anymore and I couldn't receive anything even medical cost.
The car was rented, so the rental company dealt with the damaged car.
Can I receive medical cost?

A colleague crashed my rented car, and they want me to pay for the damages. What now?


1
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
I hired a rental car, and it was involved in an accident. I'm a new license holder. However, the accident was caused by my colleague and was registered under his license, with an ARC report generated (minor scratches only).
Now, the rental car company is asking me to pay 10,000 DHS because I let someone else drive the car, saying the insurance won't cover this. But I don't have that kind of money.
What can be done in this situation?

How can we claim our money back if the cheque we received have bounced for insufficient funds? 0
We received a cheque which has now bounced. We have tried for over a month and a half now to get a new cheque from the person, and every day he says the next day.
We need the money now. We have been to the police station, and they said they can not do anything as the reason the cheque bounced is "Insufficient funds."
We have been to Al Barsha - Dubai Courts, and they said there is nothing they can do about it.
We are not sure what we can do. We need the money asap to pay our kids' school fees, let alone all the interest we have lost.

Who is supposed to pay for the transfer fee, the employee or the employer? 0
Hello
I joined my new company on February 26, 2025. Upon joining the new company, I asked HR if it was free to join the company, and she said yes.
After working with them for 1 month, I experienced a salary delay, and I had to go to the office to ask why there was a delay in my salary.
That is when the HR told me she deducted my whole salary to recover the transfer fee.
Now my question is, who is supposed to pay for the transfer fee, the employee or the employer?

Can my old employer sue me for a non-compete clause that's only in the offer letter? 0
Hi,
I was previously working in a company based in DMCC and have now moved to Hamriyah Free Zone. In my DMCC contract, there was no mention of a non-compete, but my offer letter includes one.
Now, in my new organization, if my old customers start to contact me for business, am I liable for any legal action from my previous employer?
