Compensation of 100,000 dirhams to a native of Koothuparamba, Kannur, who was injured in a car accident.
The Dubai court has ordered a compensation of 100,000 dirhams (23 lakh Indian rupees) to Shafnas Kottarathil, a native of Koothuparamba, Kannur, who was injured in a car accident, through the intervention of YAB Legal Services CEO - Salam Pappinissery.
On April 09, 2023, while working at a petrol pump in the Niama area of Al Ain, Shafnaz was hit by an Emirati national who was driving recklessly and violating traffic rules. He was taken to Al Ain Tawam Hospital after the accident. Shafnaz, who suffered neck and spine injuries, approached YAB LEGAL SERVICES - CEO Salam Pappinissery to seek compensation.
Later, through his intervention, a case was registered against the Emirati national who caused the accident and a leading insurance company in the UAE by submitting medical reports and police reports to the Insurance Authority through the Abu Dhabi office of YAB LEGAL SERVICES. In that case, the Insurance Authority asked the insurance company to pay 100,000 dirhams in compensation.
However, the insurance company's lawyer had submitted a memorandum of reply, arguing that the documents submitted were inaccurate, that the injuries mentioned in the complaint were not actually sustained, and that he was not entitled to compensation. However, Shafnaaz's lawyer approached the authority with strong documents, including medical reports and insurance policies.
The authority, which examined the submitted medical report and the documents of the beneficiaries, rejected the insurance company's argument.
