Q: How much money can we claim, as a pedestrian injury in Dubai where the leg was fractured and surgery was done?

Q: Greetings, I have a query that I hope you are able to answer. I had a fall/accident in one of the major malls in Dubai due to their gross negligence and injured my ankle. This happened 10 weeks ago, and I am still being treated for the injury. I am considering purchasing a Fixed Fee service from you - Drafting and Serving a legal notice to the mall management in regards to compensation. I would like to know what would your professional fees be if I required your expertise to negotiate a settlement beyond this fixed fee service? Looking forward to your response. Thank you.

Q: I got hit by a car and was looking for a lawyer to help with the case.

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 law promulgates UAE Civil Procedures Code (Civil Procedure Law) which governs civil procedures in the United Arab Emirates, including the prosecution before the courts, litigation and execution.

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.
