Accident Reconstruction
Independent technical analysis of speed, positioning, visibility and the sequence of the collision.
Most traffic matters end with a fine and black points. A smaller group does not. Where an accident causes death or serious injury, or where the allegation involves alcohol, recklessness or leaving the scene, the matter becomes a criminal case with imprisonment and deportation on the table.
Dubai Legal Expert defends serious traffic offences across the UAE, including causing death or injury, driving under the influence, reckless driving and failing to stop after an accident.
The federal traffic legislation, alongside the Penal Code, treats certain driving conduct as criminal rather than administrative. Causing death or serious injury, driving under the influence, dangerous or reckless driving and leaving the scene all fall into that category.
Where a death has occurred, the case also involves the diya framework, under which blood money is payable to the heirs and a settlement with the family can materially affect the criminal outcome. That element is central to how these cases are handled.

Independent technical analysis of speed, positioning, visibility and the sequence of the collision.

Respectful engagement with the victim heirs on diya and pardon, which can materially affect the outcome.
Where another driver, road conditions or a pedestrian contributed, that is established from the evidence.
Focused submissions on deportation exposure, which for expatriate drivers is often the greatest concern.
Serious traffic cases are frequently treated as though the outcome establishes the fault. In practice the questions are narrower. What speed was involved, what visibility existed, whether another party contributed, and whether the injury or death was legally caused by the driving alleged.
Independent reconstruction and medical evidence answer those questions. Where contribution by another party or an intervening factor can be established, both the classification and the sentencing exposure can change substantially.
Secure the technical evidence early, then address causation and settlement.
We advise before any statement is given, since accounts of speed and sequence are easy to state imprecisely.
The police report, scene records, vehicle damage and any camera footage are obtained and examined.
Independent analysis of speed, positioning, visibility and the sequence of the collision is commissioned.
Medical evidence is reviewed to establish the causal link between the driving alleged and the injury or death.
Where a death has occurred, diya and settlement with the heirs are handled carefully and respectfully.
Full defence at trial with focused submissions on sentence and deportation exposure.
The reconstruction showed the other vehicle had crossed the lane. The report had simply assumed otherwise.
The settlement with the family was handled respectfully and it made a real difference to the outcome.
Where an accident causes death or serious injury, or where the allegation involves alcohol or substances, reckless driving or leaving the scene, the matter is treated as criminal rather than administrative.
Diya is blood money payable to the heirs of the deceased under UAE law, and a settlement with the family can materially affect the criminal outcome.
Yes. Sampling procedure, timing, chain of custody and analysis methodology can all be examined for defects.
Contribution by another party, road conditions or an intervening factor is established through reconstruction and can change both classification and sentence.
Deportation can follow conviction for serious traffic offences, and submissions on that exposure form part of the defence.
Remain at the scene, report the accident, and take legal advice before giving a detailed account of speed, sequence or fault.
