How do I prove the other driver was at fault in a UAE road accident?

In the UAE, fault in a road accident is established primarily through the official police report, which records the circumstances and assigns each driver a percentage of responsibility. This report is the central document for both insurance and civil claims, so the most important step is to call the police to the scene (or visit the station for minor accidents) and obtain the report rather than settling informally. Supporting evidence strengthens your position: photographs of vehicle positions and damage, the location and road markings, witness names and contact details, dashcam footage if available, and medical records linking your injuries to the collision. Under the UAE Civil Transactions Law, to recover compensation you must show the other party's act caused your harm, so the chain from their conduct to your injury must be clear. If you dispute the police assessment of fault, that determination can be challenged through the proper channels. Because the fault percentage directly scales what you recover, keep every record organised.
