Abu Dhabi: On June 11, 2022, at 11:45 p.m., the vehicle driven by the accused hit a palm tree on the roadside near the ADNOC Petrol Station in the Umm Ghafa area of ​​Abu Dhabi, injuring his passenger, Mohammed Ikram. Ikram, who suffered serious injuries to his spine and neck, was admitted to Abu Dhabi Siha Hospital. The Al Ain Criminal Court found the driver guilty of reckless driving and imposed a fine of 3,000 dirhams on him, finding that the accident occurred due to the driver of the vehicle that caused the accident without maintaining the proper distance.

However, in order to obtain compensation for the seriously injured Ikram, YAB LEGAL SERVICES contacted Salam Pappinissary, CEO and initiated legal proceedings. Ikram's lawyer filed a case with the Insurance Authority, filing a medical report and other documents against the insurance company of the vehicle that caused the accident. The Insurance Authority, after examining the documents, awarded 300,000 dirhams in compensation. However, according to the documents submitted, Ikram did not suffer any significant injuries and the amount awarded was excessive and the opposing party approached the Civil Court and then the Court of Appeal, demanding a reduction. However, the higher courts, after observing the strong reply memorandum, including the medical reports, submitted by the Yab Legal Services lawyer, upheld the Insurance Authority's verdict.
