On November 2, 2018, Pakistani national Abrar Javed was riding a bike with his wife on a Kuwaiti road when he was hit by a car driven by an Indian national who was coming from the opposite direction. Both were seriously injured in the accident and were admitted to the Rashid Hospital in Dubai. The court had fined the Indian national 10,000 dirhams for reckless driving and causing damage to another person's property, and Abrar 2,000 dirhams for driving without a license.

However, Abrar and his wife, who were undergoing treatment for injuries, found it difficult to continue their treatment. They approached many insurance companies to get compensation for their financial and moral losses, but many turned them away, saying that they would not receive compensation because they had driven illegally. Finally, when they informed Salam Pappinissery, CEO of Yab Legal Services in the UAE, of their difficulties, he took it up and filed a petition in the insurance court under his leadership. However, the insurance company had argued against the complaint, stating that Abrar was not eligible for insurance and that driving without following traffic rules was dangerous. Abrar's lawyer opposed this, stating that the medical The court, which submitted a response through a report and subsequently considered the petition, ordered the insurance company to pay compensation of three lakh dirhams (i.e. two crore 30 lakh Pakistani rupees).
