Understanding Insurance and Compensation Claims in the UAE
Insurance and compensation claims in the UAE are governed by a combination of federal laws, insurance policies, and the civil code. The UAE has a well-established insurance framework that provides for both compulsory and voluntary insurance coverage. However, despite the existence of such frameworks, policyholders and claimants often find themselves struggling with insurers who may delay, reduce, or deny valid claims.
Our team is committed to ensuring that our clients are fully aware of their rights under their insurance policies, and we aim to resolve insurance disputes efficiently and fairly.

Key Legal Considerations in Insurance and Compensation Claims
The Role of Insurance Policies
- Insurance policies are legally binding contracts between the policyholder and the insurer. They outline the scope of coverage, exclusions, and the claims process.
- Understanding the fine print of your insurance policy is crucial. Many claims are denied due to misinterpretation or non-compliance with policy terms, which is why having an experienced legal professional on your side can significantly improve your chances of success.
Common Insurance Disputes
- Claims Denial: Insurance companies may deny a claim if the policyholder does not meet the specific terms of the policy or if they believe the claim is fraudulent.
- Underpayment of Claims: Insurers may offer a settlement that is lower than what the policyholder is entitled to, based on the policy’s value or the extent of the loss.
- Delayed Payments: Insurance companies are obligated to process claims within a reasonable timeframe. If claims are delayed, legal action may be necessary to compel the insurer to settle promptly.
The Role of Experts in Insurance Claims
- In many insurance claims, expert witnesses are necessary to evaluate the extent of damages or injury, especially in cases involving property damage, medical conditions, or accidents.
- Our team works closely with industry experts to build strong cases that can withstand scrutiny in court.
