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

Q: My car got into an accident. As per the insurance company's instructions afterward, I put the car in the workshop. After one week they repaired the car door. But the car door is vibrating and is not fixed properly. I took the car again to the workshop to try to fix it. But still the car door is vibrating. What is the solution? Can you advise me?

Q: My car got damaged in an accident, and it was not my fault. The insurance said they will cancel the car and give me AED 5,500, whilst the car value on Facebook maybe is AED 12,000. The sum insured as car value is AED 7000 with insurance Can't I claim pre-accident condition whatsoever the value of repair as it is not my fault? I believe that the faulty party insurance must pay for all the damages that happened to my car due to the others' fault. Why do I have to bear losses in depreciation and cancellation? Please advise.
