In the bustling city of Dubai, the safety of its roadways is paramount. However, negligence in maintaining these roads can lead to severe consequences. This case revolves around a plaintiff who suffered injuries due to a defective roadway and seeks legal recourse for the damages incurred.
On a clear afternoon in 2020, Mr. Ali, the plaintiff, was driving his car along Sheikh Zayed Road, one of Dubai’s busiest thoroughfares. Suddenly, his vehicle hit a large pothole, causing him to lose control and collide with the roadside barrier. As a result of the impact, Mr. Ahmed sustained significant injuries, including whiplash and fractures.
Mr. Ahmed, represented by his legal counsel, Omar Al Shamsi, filed a lawsuit against the Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) for negligence in maintaining the roadway. The lawsuit alleges that the RTA failed to fulfill its duty to inspect and repair the road, leading to the hazardous condition that caused Mr. Ahmed’s injuries.
This case serves as a reminder of the importance of proper maintenance of roadways to ensure the safety of all citizens. Through legal action, victims of negligence can seek justice and hold responsible parties accountable for their actions.
