Compensation for a football injury: What to do in Dubai?

Dear sirs,

My 12-year-old son accidentally hit another boy while playing football, resulting in a fracture in the boy's leg, and now he is on bed rest.

The mother of the injured boy is expecting compensation for taking care of her son since she may not be able to work or take her son to school for the next two months.

What should we do in Dubai?

Dear questioner,

No, don’t listen to her. They were playing together and he didn’t do it to harm him.

Dear questioner,

This requires first reviewing medical reports and records signed by the child's guardian.

Dear questioner,

Bodily injury while playing the ball (if not intentional and with intent to bodily harm) is not considered a foul and, as such, there is no compensation.
