Rajasthan Native Gets AED 130,000 (approximately INR 30.3 lakhs) Compensation After Abu Dhabi Accident; Yab Legal Services' Intervention Crucial

Dubai: Mohammad Sajid Mohammad Aslam, a native of Rajasthan, India, who sustained serious injuries in a road accident on Al Khail Road, Dubai, heading towards Sharjah, on Friday, June 9, 2023, has been awarded AED 130,000 (approximately INR 30.3 lakhs) in compensation by the court. The intervention of Yab Legal Services proved instrumental in this favorable verdict.

Sajid was traveling on his motorcycle when he failed to maintain a safe distance, resulting in a collision with the rear of an Isuzu pickup truck, driven by a Nepali national, which was ahead of him. Due to his responsibility for the accident, Sajid was fined AED 1,000 in a criminal case.

Following the accident, Sajid sustained severe injuries and was immediately admitted to Rashid Hospital via ambulance. When he did not receive any compensation, his relatives approached Salam Pappinissery, CEO of Yab Legal Services. Under his guidance, a compensation claim was registered, and the necessary documents were submitted. The lawsuit was filed against both Sajid's motorcycle insurance company and the pickup truck's insurance company as opposing parties.

After thoroughly examining the submitted documents and medical certificates, the Insurance Authority accepted the arguments of Sajid's lawyer and ordered Sajid's motorcycle insurance company to pay AED 1.3 lakh as compensation.
