Our Competencies and Special Skills
We have special skills and competencies in compensation cases and various other lawsuits.
Compensations are due to the injured when the wrong doer causes damages to the injured whether such damage results from traffic accident or work injury or crime or any other mistake. The injured person could be an individual or company or establishment. Therefore, compensations are divided as follows:
Individuals claims:
The claims of individuals are characterized by being multiple and varied. For a long time we raised actions in the following fields and we are still doing the same:
Work accidents:
We file claims against the company or establishment/ employer as well as against insurance companies whether the injury is slight or medium or sever or resulted in the death of worker.
Traffic accidents compensations:
Such collision or capsized or running over and the injuries or death resulting from that as well as damages to vehicle, whether the claim is made against the insurance company or the driver of the vehicle or the owner of the vehicle.
Crimes
We file actions requesting paying compensation to the injured (the victim) concerning the damages incurred to him or his property whether such damage is material or moral, that results from the normal crimes such as misdemeanor or felony (cheating, robbery, embezzlement, killing … etc) or resulting from electronic crimes. It is also possible to file an action against the state if the doer is unknown.
Medical mistakes
Medical mistakes may initially occur as mistake in diagnosing the sick case or mistake in dispensing a certain type of medicine or mistake during surgical operation and the damages resulting from that on the health of the patient or the damages that led to his death, such claims are filed against the body that commits the mistake such as a clinic or hospital or medical center affiliated to the government or a private one.
Aviation companies
We mean filling claims against the airways corporations when they become the cause of causing damages o passengers or their properties or their belongings and the benefit that they may miss as a result of delay in the flights times or canceling such flights and anything related to such matters.
Administrative mistakes
An individual maybe subject to damages as a result of administrative mistake committed by one of the administrative governmental bodies. In this case such individual has the right to resort to the judiciary requesting compensation. The same thing applies to private companies and institutions when they prove the occurrence of such damages.
Mines explosion
Although the concerned bodies exert their efforts to remove the land mines left by the Iraqi invasion of our country, the law gives the injured, who becomes subject to injury because of the explosion of a mine, the right to claim for compensation from the concerned body. The same right is also given to the heirs of the dead person.
Contracts actions
The contracts lawsuits are various as per the parties of the contract. The contract may have been executed between a private company or establishment and a governmental body or between private companies such as subcontracting or private company with insurance company, or between two insurance companies. Contracts could be governmental or private.
Private contracts
They are the claims that arise between private companies such as subcontracting and the disputes and claims resulting from them regarding the implementation defects as well as the claims made by insurance companies including compensation for accidents that may take place in the site and the financial and legal obligation arising from such accidents as well as claiming for delay fines and attachments on the companies funds in case of the raise of dispute between the contracting parties and claiming for delay interests.
Government contracts
They are the claims made by private companies against governmental bodies, related to carrying out the tenders or biddings or direct contracting and the matters related to them that incur during implementation, such as the increase in prices or urgent circumstances or variation orders that necessitate amending the items of agreement in a manner that does not affect the implementing company. There are also breaches made against the implementing company that resulting in big financial fines (such as Municipality fines) and other fines. This requires legal follow up to decrease the damages that may incur to the interests of the implementing companies. There is no doubt that we possess sufficient experience in this regard because we assume defending major foreign companies that implement huge projects inside the state of Kuwait.
Inheritances and real estates actions
Real estates
Many disputes take place regarding the possession of a real estate or the portions; this may lead to selling the real estate in auction. It is possible to have successful negotiations between the litigants if legal understanding exists between them. This matter helps to preserve the market value of the real estate. We support such behavior and advise following such behavior instead of wasting money and effort.
Inheritances
Inheritances actions vary as per their nature. They require steady and rapid legal follow up not only before the courts but also outside the courts because the elements of inheritance may be dispersed inside the country and sometimes they extend to the outside of the country. There is no doubt that the heirs (owners of the inheritance) are in need of continuous legal assistance to give them the correct legal opinion through consultation or taking the proper legal procedure to protect their rights and not to lose such rights. Therefore, our advice is to resort to retaining a lawyer as per the satisfaction of the heirs before carrying out any legal act.
Rental of real estates
We have the practical ability to follow up the legal procedures of collecting the rents of real estates and filing actions against the lessees who lag behind paying the lease value. This is done to safeguard obtaining the revenues of the real estate ceaselessly and without interruption.
