Personal Injury

Client:
Mr. Omar H., Logistics Worker – Dubai Industrial City

Legal Area:
Personal Injury Law / Workplace Accident / Compensation Claim

Background:
Mr. Omar, a warehouse technician employed by a third-party logistics provider, suffered a serious back injury when improperly stacked cargo collapsed during a routine shift. Despite clear evidence of safety violations, his employer denied responsibility and offered only limited medical coverage. Mr. Omar was left unable to work for three months and faced mounting medical bills and lost wages.

He turned to Ahcene Law Firm to seek rightful compensation and hold the employer accountable under UAE labor and civil liability laws.

Legal Issue:

• The injury was caused by the employer’s failure to enforce occupational health and safety regulations.
• The employer attempted to settle informally and avoid legal liability.
• Mr. Omar needed compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost income, and rehabilitation costs.

Ahcene Law Firm’s Approach:

1. Legal & Medical Case Building:
   We worked with independent physicians to document the full extent of Mr. Omar’s physical and emotional injuries. A formal injury report was prepared, including long-term work limitations.

2. Employer Liability Investigation:
   We obtained incident records, CCTV footage, and testimony from co-workers to establish the employer’s failure to adhere to proper safety protocols, in violation of UAE Labour Law and Ministry of Human Resources guidelines.

3. Filing a Civil Compensation Claim:
   Our legal team filed a case in the Dubai Courts, citing personal injury, employer negligence, and breach of duty of care. The claim included:

Outcome:

• The court awarded AED 90,000 in total compensation to Mr. Omar.
• The employer was required to revise safety procedures and report compliance improvements to the court.
• Mr. Omar was also assisted by Ahcene Law Firm in transitioning to a new, safer job environment through legal support for visa transfer.
