Compensation of 40 million Pakistani rupees to a Pakistani national who was injured in a car accident.

On November 29, 2019, another Pakistani national was hit by a car while crossing the road in the Jebel Ali Police Station area of ​​Dubai due to his reckless driving and not maintaining the required distance. He was immediately admitted to Rashid Hospital with serious injuries.

The driver of the vehicle was found guilty in a criminal case and was released after paying a fine of 1000 dirhams. On this occasion, a case was filed before the Insurance Authority against the vehicle's insurance company to seek compensation. Shahid's wife Tahira Beevi approached Salam Pappinissery, CEO of YAB LEGAL SERVICES in the UAE, to take legal action for this.

Shahid's lawyer argued before the authority that the insurance company that insured the vehicle should pay compensation, as he had sustained injuries all over his body and that the driver's negligence was the cause of the serious injuries. The authority, after examining the arguments and documents, asked the insurance company to pay compensation of 500,000 (five hundred thousand) dirhams.

Against this, the insurance company approached the Dubai Civil Court and argued that Shahid was also at fault for crossing the road without paying attention, that the injuries were not serious, and that this amount was too much. The lawyer of the insurance company argued that only compensation should be paid according to the injuries after examining the medical reports and documents. However, the arguments of the lawyer of the insurance company could not stand up in the face of the medical reports and documents submitted by Shahid's lawyer.

The court, after considering the arguments of both parties, examined the medical report issued by the UAE Medical Legal Department and the documents of the medical expenses and found that the insurance authority had awarded the five hundred thousand dirhams (i.e. four crore Pakistani rupees) and found that the insurance company should be paid the same amount and imposed legal fees on them. Later, the insurance company approached the Court of Appeal with the same argument, but the arguments were again rejected as they were not supported by documents.
