Dear Client,

Thanks for your question! I hope you are doing well. I will assist you in this matter.

To seek justice for your relative's loss due to medical negligence, gather all relevant medical records and file a complaint with the UAE's Ministry of Health and Prevention.

Consider pursuing a civil lawsuit for compensation while also exploring options in India, such as filing a complaint in consumer court.

Engaging a lawyer experienced in medical malpractice in both jurisdictions will be crucial for navigating the legal processes effectively.

For any further discussion, you can WhatsApp us. We have an extensive team of knowledgeable and experienced lawyers to provide the legal assistance you need.

We will be happy to help you.

Thanks & Regards,

ABDUL WAHIED

Hello,

I am sorry for your relative's loss. Medical negligence in the UAE is governed by Federal Law No. (4) of 2016 on Medical Liability, which ensures the protection of patients' rights and holds medical professionals accountable for their actions.

Since the Dubai Health Authority Medical Committee has already confirmed negligence, this report will serve as critical evidence.

Your relative can file a civil compensation claim under Article (20) of the Medical Liability Law, which allows for compensation in cases of proven harm due to medical errors.

Although currently residing in India, your relative can appoint legal representation in the UAE to initiate the required legal steps without delay.

I can assist in handling the case, preparing documents, and ensuring efficient legal proceedings.

Please feel free to contact me at [---------] or via WhatsApp at [---------] for further assistance.

These cases involve details and documents related to proving the tortious liability of the doctor who performed the delivery and the responsibility of the hospital where the procedure was carried out.

We need to determine the jurisdictional and financial competency and establish the grounds for compensation by proving the damage, its outcome, and the causal relationship.

This includes determining the value of the damage, in addition to providing material, moral, and inheritance compensation.

The documents must be prepared and legal procedures should be taken with great care and attention to ensure full compensation for these damages.

Dear Questioner,

Good morning!

I am sorry to hear about your relative's tragic loss. To seek justice and compensation for medical negligence in the UAE, the following steps should be taken:

1. File a Legal Complaint Against the Medical Facility:

Your relative should file a formal complaint with the Dubai Health Authority (DHA), which has already conducted an investigation. The DHA’s medical committee report indicating negligence is an essential document for initiating legal action.

2. Obtain a Death Certificate and Evidence:

Ensure that all relevant documents, such as the death certificate, medical reports, and DHA findings, are obtained and properly certified. These documents will be vital for legal proceedings.

3. Filing in the UAE or India:

Although your relative has relocated to India, legal action can still be pursued in the UAE, as the medical negligence occurred within its jurisdiction. The case can be filed in Dubai courts for compensation.

Alternatively, your relative may choose to consult with a lawyer in India to explore the possibility of pursuing international compensation, though it is usually more effective to proceed with the case in the UAE.

4. Compensation Claims:

Your relative may be entitled to compensation for medical costs, emotional distress, loss of life, and other damages. The amount will depend on the specifics of the case and the damages demonstrated in court.

As specialists in injury cases, we can help finalize this matter in record time. If you need immediate assistance or representation, feel free to contact us.

Hello,

Since the complainant is outside the country, they need legal representation here to approach the authorities. It would be better to seek assistance from a lawyer for this purpose.

First, gather all relevant evidence, including the DHA Medical Committee Report, medical records, witness statements, and financial documents.

File a civil lawsuit against the responsible parties to seek compensation for damages, emotional distress, and financial losses.

Several procedures are involved in this process, which we will discuss in detail.

Kindly share your WhatsApp number to discuss further.
