Reasons to hire one

Car accidents like hit-and-run and traffic collisions are all too common in Dubai and other Emirates. The UAE government issued Federal Law number 21 of 1995 about traffic controls and highlighted the fines for individuals who commit such crimes. Although the UAE has zero-tolerance policies for hit-and-run incidents, you may still need legal assistance to help you deal with the guilty party.

It’s advisable to seek a car accident lawyer as soon as possible. Reputable lawyers offer a complimentary initial consultation and have a process that lets them know more about what happened, so they can effectively build your case. It’s also a chance for you to get to know your lawyer and determine if you’ll be comfortable working with them. It’s vital to hire an advocate who you can trust since you’ll be partnering with them for quite some time.

An experienced car accident lawyer will help you get the compensation you deserve to cover the losses incurred because of the incident, including lost wages, vehicle repairs, and medical expenses. In a severe accident, the lawyer may help you pursue a solid case against the other party when the accident resulted in the death of a loved one, especially where drunk driving, speeding, and reckless driving are involved.

Things to check

When hiring a lawyer, make sure they’re experienced in resolving cases; related to personal injury, property destruction, wrongful death, and determining liability. Make sure they have a track record of successfully helping their clients win their cases.
