Help/advice required on accident claim - pedestrian hit by car
Met with an accident 4 months before while walking in the footpath and left with multiple fractures(leg, hand, ribs,and injuries in lungs). Moved back to India after being in Hamad Emergency for more than a week. Had surgery and everything back in India. Now came back to work.
Please let me know the process on how to submit the claim, where to submit and how to sue the guy for his irresponsible driving
It depends on how far away the car is, not what the light is. I have, in the past, stopped for cars some distance away, where I could have easily crossed the street before they even got there. Then you have felt unsafe as they decide to run a fresh red light, while my light is green. Ironically obeying the light, while the car came closer was the more dangerous option that is why you are in a need of a great lawyer https://www.wesettle.com/ that can help you.
Danagrace: Don't follow what was stated by "my pal." Some people write just for the sake of writing.
If you have a Police Report of the accident, then you are on high ground. Just lodge a case by yourself and you may not even need the help of a lawyer. If at all you need a lawyer, he may just prepare the documents to enable you to lodge the case. From then on, it is just between you and the other party. It may take several months for the court to give its verdict and you will be required to be present at the court on all dates of the hearings. If the verdict goes in your favour, the insurance company that had insured the car that hit you will pay the you amount decided by the court as all cars are insured in Qatar.
Was there a police report ? If so, how was the blame aportioned ?
I would suggest talking to your company legal department and asking their help.
You could also contact the police and file a grievance or contact a lawyer who may take the case on a no win no fee bais.
Dana, Look at it from this angle, he is not your enemy, he did not do it purposely, he did not gain anything out of it. Think about pardoning him , the poor soul. Mistakes do happen. To err is human my pal. ..........
