Woman obligated to pay Dha15,000 to another on assault charges in Abu Dhabi
Earlier, the plaintiff filed a lawsuit against the defendant in which she requested that she be obligated to pay her Dhs51,000 in compensation for the material and moral harms she suffered plus the legal interest and the incurred fees and charges.
The plaintiff pleaded that the defendant assaulted her and caused her injuries as a result of which she could not go to work for more than twenty days, adding that a criminal case was accordingly filed in Abu Dhabi and she was convicted and that the issued verdict became final because it was not appealed to.
The harms she sustained prompted her to file this lawsuit with the aforementioned requests, the plaintiff said. She supported her lawsuit with a decision from the mediation and conciliation centre, a copy of the verdict and a police report.
The court stated that Article 282 of the Civil Code stipulates that whoever causes harm to another - whether on purpose or by accident - is responsible for covering the damages.
It is well established from the facts and documents that the plaintiff suffered harms after the defendant had assaulted her and caused her to be unable to carry out her personal job for no more than 20 days, the court said.
Based on the claimed harms, the moral harms and the psychological pain, grief and sorrow that the plaintiff suffered over the injuries that occurred to her body, the court estimated the material and moral compensation for the plaintiff at Dhs15,000.

‘Bawal ang usisero' Dubai Police Warn Against ‘Rubbernecking' at Accident Sites: Dh1,000 Fine and Black Points
Dubai Police have cautioned motorists against the dangerous practice of slowing down or stopping to watch accidents on the road, stressing that such behavior not only disrupts traffic but also endangers lives by delaying emergency response. In a Gulf News report, Brigadier Juma Salem Bin Suwaidan, Acting Director of the General Department of Traffic, said violators face a Dh1,000 fine and black points on their driving record under federal traffic laws. 'This habit poses a serious threat to road safety and human lives while hindering the timely arrival of rescue teams,' he said. Authorities noted that drivers who crowd accident scenes often worsen injuries and cause secondary crashes by abruptly slowing down or stopping. Police urged motorists to keep a safe distance, follow speed limits, and signal before changing lanes. Officials also highlighted ongoing awareness campaigns to remind drivers that 'curiosity at accident sites is not just a bad habit, it is a traffic violation that can end in tragedy.' Brigadier Bin Suwaidan added: 'Every second counts in emergencies. The delays caused by unnecessary congestion may cost a life.' He advised drivers never to stop in the middle of the road, and in cases of breakdowns, to immediately contact Dubai Police for assistance.

Dubai Court Fines Motorist, Orders Dh50,000 Blood Money in Fatal Scooter Accident
A Dubai court has fined a Gulf national Dh10,000 and ordered him to pay Dh50,000 in blood money to the family of an Asian man who died in a traffic accident earlier this year. The fatal incident took place in March on Al Wasl Road, where the victim, riding an electric scooter, was struck near a pedestrian crossing. Responding officers found him critically injured, and he was declared dead at the scene. The driver told investigators the man suddenly crossed outside the pedestrian lane, leaving no chance to avoid the collision. However, police determined both parties shared responsibility. Traffic reports revealed the driver had run a red light, failed to slow down at a crossing, and neglected proper caution, which directly caused the fatal crash. Investigators also noted that the victim contributed to the accident by riding — instead of walking — his scooter across the pedestrian line and failing to check for oncoming vehicles. In its ruling, the court stressed that negligence, whether through action or omission, constitutes criminal liability, underscoring the shared responsibility of both the motorist and the victim.
