Who should be claiming damages for loss in the case of tortious acts of omissions?
The party who has suffered loss will be the only person entitled to claim compensation. Such right however can be subrogated to an insurance company, which under UAE law is then allowed to bring a claim in its own name. In the case of a death, only the legal and rightful heirs of the deceased will be entitled to claim compensation. In such a case, evidence of the identity of the legal heirs must be provided to the Court.
