Questions & Answers
An Ajman company driver died in a Sharjah accident. Which court for insurance?
Dear Sir/Madam,
Our company driver passed away in a road accident. He hit a heavy truck from behind and died on the spot. His family is in his home country. I have obtained the legal heirship certificate and had it attested.
The insurance company requires a letter from the court mentioning the amount to be disbursed. The policy clearly states AED 200,000.00 in case of death.
That is what we are hoping they will pass on to the family. Which court should we approach in this case?
The accident occurred in Sharjah, and the company is based in Ajman.
Your advice would be greatly appreciated!
