Taxi Driver Hurt Breaking Up Fight Wins BD18,000
Whilst waiting in his parked car for a shawarma, a Bahraini taxi driver ended up with a broken hip after stepping in to stop a street fight. Now a court has ordered BD18,000 in damages. The row had broken out in Jid Ali between two men arguing over a failed car deal. The driver got out and tried to calm them down. He got caught in the middle. In the scuffle, he was shoved to the ground. The fall broke his femur, and he needed surgery, a new hip, and weeks off his feet. A medical panel later put the permanent damage at 30 per cent. Walking became a stiff, painful task. He took the matter to court, represented by lawyer Taqi Hussain, as the medical care had cost him thousands.

Taxi Driver Awarded BD18,000 After Breaking Up Fight
A Bahraini taxi driver's attempt to break up a street fight in Jid Ali resulted in a broken hip and a BD18,000 court-awarded compensation. The altercation stemmed from a disputed car sale, and the driver intervened to de-escalate the situation between the two men involved. During the scuffle, he was pushed to the ground, fracturing his femur. The resulting injury necessitated surgery, a hip replacement, and weeks of recovery. A medical panel assessed the permanent disability at 30%, leaving him with chronic pain and difficulty walking. Represented by lawyer Taqi Hussain, the driver sought damages to cover his medical expenses and ongoing pain and suffering. One of the men involved admitted to the court that the driver had attempted to restrain him, stating, 'He held me from behind trying to stop the fight. I asked him to let go and grab the other man instead. He wouldn't. I pulled away hard and he fell.' The court deemed this action culpable, concluding that the injury and subsequent damages directly resulted from the altercation. A criminal conviction was not required, as the facts of the case were deemed sufficiently clear. The court awarded BD17,000 for physical harm and an additional BD1,000 for emotional distress. Furthermore, the two men were jointly ordered to pay BD300 in legal fees, BD90 for the medical board assessment, and BD496.5 in court costs.

Sister wins legal fight to sell family home
Brothers who tried to stop their sister from selling their late mother's BD200,000 home have lost their final bid in court. A judge has ordered the sale of the property and two ageing vehicles, ruling that none of the items could be divided fairly and that the assets must go to public auction. The woman, represented by lawyer Taqi Hussain, had turned to the courts after her attempts to settle the matter quietly came to nothing. Her mother had died leaving behind a home and two cars — a 2009 Mitsubishi Galant and a 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander — which were still jointly held by her and her five brothers. They objected. The men said the house was their only roof, but the court was unmoved. Accommodation It ruled that they were old enough and capable enough to arrange other accommodation, and found no health or legal obstacle to stop the sale. The Urban Planning and Development Authority, one of several state bodies pulled into the case, said the house could not be divided. The zoning rules wouldn't allow it. A valuation report backed that up, placing the market value of the land at BD200,000 and warning that splitting it would either break planning regulations or ruin its worth. Vehicles The Property Division also looked at the vehicles. The Galant was valued at BD800, while the Outlander at BD500. Neither could be divided, so both must be sold. The number plates are not included, as no evidence was provided to prove they belonged to the estate. Other bodies involved included the General Directorate of Traffic and the State Cases Authority, added in line with the procedures that apply when dealing with estates and land. The Directorate of Minors' Estates withdrew midway through the case, following the death of one of the heirs in its care.
