Civil Cases
Every civil right has a legal path — from compensation to recovering claims to proving ownership — we represent you with precision and patience until your right is recovered in full.
Civil law — the broadest framework for individual rights
Civil cases are the broadest framework governing relations between individuals, covering everything not specialized in criminal or commercial law: compensation, breach of contract, property disputes, medical malpractice, traffic accidents, insurance claims, and tort liability. A mistake in characterizing the claim or missing the limitation period can cost you the right entirely.
Our work is grounded in the UAE Civil Transactions Law (Law No. 5 of 1985) and its amendments, alongside the specialized statutes for each dispute type. Our methodology rests on evidence and documents first, precise drafting of pleadings, and following every stage from filing to actual enforcement against the losing party.

Your Questions on Civil Cases
• Fault: an act or omission by the other party in breach of law or contract.
• Damage: material loss (money, property) or moral harm (reputation, distress).
• Causation: the damage is a direct result of the fault.
Examples: traffic accident, medical malpractice, contract breach, defamation, property damage, infringement of a moral right. We assess your case against these elements and calculate the compensation due.
• Criminal: the State prosecutes the accused, judgment: penalty (prison, fine).
• Civil: the injured party seeks their right, judgment: financial compensation.
Yes, they can be combined — the victim in a criminal case can claim civil damages within the criminal action, or file a separate civil case. The right strategy varies by case, and we determine it for you based on your circumstances.
• General civil right: 15 years as a default.
• Tort liability: 3 years from the injured party's knowledge of the damage and the responsible party.
• Periodic rights (wages, alimony, interest): 5 years.
• Insurance claims: 3 years.
• Medical malpractice: special periods under the Medical Liability Law.
If you're wondering whether time has run out, contact us immediately before you find out yourself — the clock may already be ticking.
• Psychological pain from injury or loss of a loved one
• Harm to reputation and honor through defamation or insult
• Emotional harm in losing a relative due to fault
• Violation of dignity or privacy
The compensation amount is determined by the judge based on the severity of the harm — there's no fixed formula. Proof typically comes from psychological reports, witnesses, and circumstantial evidence.
• Actual damage (loss): what you actually lost (money, property, treatment).
• Lost gain: what you could have earned but for the harm.
• Moral damage: psychological pain and suffering.
• Future treatment costs (if any).
• Legal interest from the claim date.
We prepare a detailed, document-backed compensation memorandum to present the strongest possible claim before the court, calling in experts when needed to estimate the damage.
• Court of First Instance: 3–9 months for simple judgments
• Appeal: 3–6 months additional
• Cassation: 4–8 months for complex cases
Cost includes: court fees (a percentage of the claim value), expert fees if needed, and attorney fees. We work on fixed fees or a percentage of the recovered amount depending on the case, agreed transparently from the start.
