Liability for hitting a pedestrian crossing the street illegally

Q: Hi
How are you?
I have this question. A pedestrian was crossing the street illegally then he hits from the side with my brother's car. My brother called the police right way, that guy had a facial fracture.
The police arrested my brother. Even that guy didn't file a case against my brother. My brother follows all the rule. He has insurance and all stuff.

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.

Is the RERA Index Calculator the sole source for determining rent increases? 2
Dear Sir/Madam,
I reside in a Dubai community, and my tenancy renewal is approximately 95 days away.
The landlord is proposing a 15% rent increase, primarily based on rents listed on propertyfinder.ae, claiming that my current rent is 25% below market rates.
However, the RERA Rental Index indicates "no increase in the rental value" as my rent is at the top of the quoted range, prompting me to reject the proposed increase.
The real estate broker he hired at the time of my move-in recently contacted me, serving as an intermediary, mentioning that he would conduct a DLD valuation, likely resulting in a higher value.
However, he is attempting to negotiate first, considering the cost of around 2500 AED.
If we were to dispute, is the RERA Index Calculator the sole authoritative source for determining rent increases?
Additionally, if the DLD valuation is accepted, what is the potential maximum increase?
