Compensation of two lakh dirhams to the family members of a Pakistani national who died in a car accident in Sharjah.
The Dubai court has ruled to pay compensation of one and a half crore Pakistani rupees (two lakh dirhams) to the family members of Liaqat Ali, a Pakistani national who died in a car accident in Sharjah, through the intervention of Yab Legal Services CEO Salam Pappinissery.
On January 16, 2017, Liaqat Ali, who was riding a bicycle in Sharjah, was hit by a car driven by a Bahraini national. He was immediately taken to the hospital, but his life could not be saved.
The police who arrived at the scene of the accident prepared a report and filed a criminal case. The court found that Liaqat Ali was driving in the right direction and that the accident was caused by the negligence of the opposing party. The court imposed a fine of 2000 dirhams on the opposing party and ordered him to pay a compensation of 200,000 dirhams.
The family, mentally devastated by the death of Liaqat Ali, who was the sole support of his family consisting of his mother, wife and six children, approached Salam Pappinissery, CEO of Yab Legal Services in the UAE, to receive this compensation. The documents required to receive the bride price for the heirs in Pakistan were arranged through the Pakistani embassy and consulate, and the case was registered in the Sharia court. The Sharia court, which examined all the documents submitted, distributed the bride price to the heirs.
