The case stems from an incident in which the defendant borrowed the plaintiff’s car and subsequently caused a traffic accident. According to the SAED report, the defendant was at fault in the collision, resulting in the car’s complete destruction and removal from the traffic registry.
In her lawsuit, the plaintiff demanded Dhs160,000 to cover the car’s value and an additional Dhs140,000 as compensation for material and moral damage caused by the vehicle’s destruction. She also sought legal interest, court fees, and attorney fees. The plaintiff argued that the defendant's negligence and lack of attention were directly responsible for the loss of her vehicle.
To substantiate her claims, the plaintiff submitted several pieces of evidence, including the Conciliation and Settlement Committee's authorization to take the case to court, the car’s purchase invoice which listed its value at Dhs159,000, the official accident report, and the vehicle write-off record.
The court affirmed that the vehicle, valued at Dhs159,000 as per the invoice, had been lent by the plaintiff to the defendant. The accident report corroborated that the defendant was culpable due to negligence, which resulted in the car being beyond repair and written off from official records.
As a result, the court ordered the defendant to compensate the plaintiff with Dhs159,000, the car's assessed value, along with Dhs3,000 in material damages and Dhs2,000 in moral damages, bringing the total compensation to Dhs164,000.
