KUWAIT CITY, Sept 1: The Court of First Instance obligated an insurance company to pay KD6,000 to a Kuwaiti citizen as compensation for the damage to his luxury car when he was involved in a traffic accident caused by a woman who harassed him while driving, resulting in significant damage to the vehicle. Lawyer for the citizen, Attorney Enaam Haider, disclosed that the court rejected the insurance company’s arguments and procrastination, and ordered it to bear the full cost of the repairs. Haider considers the ruling a victory for the rights of those affected by the arbitrariness of some companies that delay in fulfilling their obligations. She said the compensation amount of KD6,000 is proportionate to the extent of the losses and cost of the restoration of the vehicle to its original condition. She added that through such rulings, the judiciary establishes the principle of “justice for all” and the protection of those affected by traffic accidents.
