Frequently Asked Questions
What if I am partially responsible for the accident?
In Qatar, the principle of proportional responsibility is applied. Even if you are partially responsible, you can still claim compensation, but it will be reduced based on your level of responsibility. For example, if you're 20% responsible, you will receive 80% of the compensation.
How long do I have to file a claim?
In Qatar, the statute of limitations for car accident cases is usually 3 years from the date of the incident. However, it's best to file the claim as soon as possible to preserve evidence and expedite the process.
Do I need a lawyer if the accident is minor?
Even minor accidents can lead to complications. Insurance companies may try to reduce the compensation or deny the claim. A specialized lawyer ensures your rights are protected and that you receive fair compensation.
What if the other driver does not have insurance?
If the other driver does not have insurance, you can file a claim through your own insurance (if you have comprehensive coverage) or file a lawsuit directly against the responsible driver.
Conclusion
Car accidents can change your life in an instant. If you were involved in an accident due to another driver’s negligence, you have the right to claim fair compensation. A specialized car accident lawyer helps you navigate the complex legal process, negotiate with insurance companies, and secure the compensation you deserve to cover all your damages and losses.
