On October 30, 2020, an Emirati national drove a vehicle violating traffic rules within the limits of BurDubai Police Station and lost control and hit Khubaib, who was on the side of the road, causing an accident. The court found that the accident was due to the negligence of the Emirati national and the Traffic Criminal Court fined the driver 5000 dirhams and released him.

Subsequently, Khubaib, who suffered serious injuries in the accident, approached Salam Pappinissery, CEO of YAB LEGAL SERVICES and a social activist, to get compensation. Later, through his intervention, a case was registered against a leading insurance company in the UAE and the driver of the vehicle by submitting medical reports and police reports before the Insurance Authority. In that case, the Insurance Authority asked the insurance company to pay 350000 dirhams in compensation.

However, although the opposing party argued in court that according to the documents submitted, Khubaib did not suffer any major injuries and that only a small amount should be paid to Khubaib, they could not hold their own against the arguments of Khubaib's lawyer, who presented strong documents, including medical reports.
