Q: I am doing laser hair removal for beard shaping but accidentally they did one laser shot of my full face. Now, there are patches on my beard. Can I sue the clinic? They said that it will recover but will take time. It has been a month now but there’s no change. It is still looking patchy.

Q: Hello. I am facing a really horrible time after visiting one of the salons in Dubai in December 2020. I had permanent makeup remover on my eyebrows and it is been now 1 year and a half and I have horrible red scars on my face instead of eyebrows. I visited a lot of clinics trying to improve it, however, all doctors are saying it is scars and nothing can be done and I have to live with it. I want to file a case against that salon that did it for me. I am a young lady and now I have to hide my face once I step out of my apartment because of these horrible scars. My lifestyle is changed, I am trying to avoid people so they will not look at my scars, it kills me day by day and I got so much depressed.

Q: Dear community, Our relative is on a tourist visa in Dubai. She has visited a beauty salon yesterday in DIFC. A standard procedure has resulted in severe cut with continuous bleeding, in sensitive parts. The salon didn't charge her and they followed up asking if she was okay. We bought medicine to stop the bleeding at home. We didn't visit the hospital or a doctor, as we have an 8-month-old baby and it is not easy to do this. At this stage, we want to sue them for these damages, because it is yet to be seen how this will impact in the future. Kind Regards,

Medical treatment provided to patients does not always achieve the desired results, and sometimes it may lead to catastrophic consequences that cannot be remedied. This is due to several factors, some of these factors are related to the therapist or to the patient himself, or even related to God's will. It was, therefore, necessary for the legislator to intervene and develop the laws governing medical malpractice cases and set the limitations of liability for the therapist in such cases.

Exploring the various factors related to medical errors, including their definition, causes, severity, and legal implications, and highlighting the importance of understanding liability and compensation for patients and healthcare providers alike.
