Compensation for Traffic Accidents, Workplace Injuries, and Accidental Death in Qatar


Compensation for Traffic Accidents, Workplace Injuries, and Accidental Death in Qatar

Accidents can happen when we least expect them—on the road, at work, or in everyday life. In Qatar, the law provides strong protection for victims and their families by ensuring they receive proper compensation in case of injury or loss. If you or your loved one has suffered due to an accident, understanding your rights is the first step toward justice.

At our law firm in Qatar, we specialize in accident compensation claims and are here to guide you through the legal process.

🚗 Traffic Accidents: Your Right to Compensation

If you've been injured in a car or motorcycle accident, or you've lost a family member due to reckless driving, you may be eligible for compensation under Qatar Traffic Law (Law No. 19 of 2007) and the Civil Code (Law No. 22 of 2004).

You may be entitled to:

  • Medical expense reimbursement

  • Compensation for pain, suffering, and loss of income

  • Property damage recovery

  • Diyah (blood money) of QAR 200,000 in case of death

Whether you're a driver, pedestrian, or passenger, the responsible party—and their insurer—can be held liable. A police report and medical documents are essential, and we can assist you in collecting and presenting the right evidence.

⚖️ Workplace Injuries: What the Law Says

Work-related injuries are covered under Qatar Labour Law No. 14 of 2004. If an accident occurs while you're performing your duties—even off-site—you are entitled to protection.

Compensation includes:

  • Free medical treatment

  • Full wages for up to 6 months during recovery

  • Long-term compensation in case of permanent disability

  • Death compensation:

    • Diyah: QAR 200,000

    • Plus up to 2 years’ salary

Employers are legally required to report work accidents and provide compensation. If your employer fails to comply, we can help you file a case with the Labour Dispute Resolution Committee.

⚠️ Accidental Death: Support for Families

Losing a loved one due to an accident is a tragedy no family should face alone. Whether caused by traffic collisions, workplace incidents, or negligence, the law in Qatar provides avenues for families to claim compensation.

Families may claim:

  • QAR 200,000 as Diyah (blood money)

  • Additional compensation for emotional trauma and financial loss

  • Funeral costs (in applicable cases)

Compensation claims can be filed by legal heirs (spouse, children, parents). We will support you with all legal documentation, including heirship certificates and damage assessments.
