On September 15, 2019, a Pakistani national, Mohammed Salim, was reversing his vehicle in Al Rifaa, Abu Dhabi when he was hit by an Emirati citizen. Mohammed Salim, who was seriously injured in the impact, was immediately taken to Sheikh Khalifa Hospital, but his life could not be saved. Mohammed Salim was reversing his vehicle to enter the exit road to the airport without taking any precautions when the Emirati citizen was hit by a vehicle that was speeding and driving recklessly. A case was filed in the criminal court, making both parties accused, and the court, which considered the case, fined the Emirati citizen 10,000 dirhams and ordered the family of the deceased Mohammed Salim to pay 100,000 dirhams in compensation.

The family, devastated by the sudden death of Mohammed Salim, approached Salam Pappinissery, CEO of Yab Legal Services in the UAE, seeking compensation for the losses they had suffered. Understanding the family's needs, he immediately filed a petition with the insurance court, making the company that insured Mohammed Salim's vehicle the opposing party, and demanded compensation. However, the court dismissed the petition on the grounds that sufficient evidence had not been presented. However, Mohammed Salim's lawyer approached the civil court and requested a new verdict, stating that the evidence was sufficient and that he was willing to submit any further evidence requested by the court. After examining all the documents submitted, the court awarded Mohammed Salim's family two hundred thousand dirhams in compensation in addition to the court's fine. It was decided to give.
