Work injury and compensation claim in the UAE

How we help with work injury and compensation claim

• Evidence and document review

  Our review covers incident report, duty roster, witness details, medical records, employer notification and insurance or benefit correspondence. We identify what supports your position and what needs clarification or further evidence.

• Who pays for treatment and wages after a UAE work injury?

  Under the federal private-sector framework, the employer covers qualifying work-injury treatment until recovery or confirmation of disability. During treatment, the stated wage entitlement is full pay for up to six months, then half pay for an additional six months if treatment continues. The employer must report the incident to MOHRE within 48 hours. Confirm coverage, medical findings and any statutory exclusion; treatment costs and disability compensation are separate calculations. Record where the incident occurred, the task being performed, who was notified and the treatment received. Distinguish workplace reporting, insurance or social-insurance benefits and any separate liability claim. Preserve the incident evidence without delaying necessary treatment.
