The family of a worker, who died after a pile of plastic tubes crumbled on him, has been awarded Dh80,000 in compensation.
The Abu Dhabi Court of Appeals upheld a lower court's ruling that instructed the employer to pay the compensation after it was proven that it failed to comply with safety requirements, thus leading to the tragic accident that killed the young man.
The employer was also ordered to pay a blood money of Dh200,000 to the worker’s family.
Official court documents stated that the worker was on duty in a warehouse when the plastic tubes fell on his head.
Upon receiving the verdict, the worker’s parents filed a civil lawsuit against the employer demanding that he pay them Dh510,000 in compensation for the material and moral damages they suffered following the death of their son.
The parents said in their lawsuit that their deceased son was their sole breadwinner.
After hearing from all parties, the Abu Dhabi Civil Appeals Court ordered the employer to pay Dh60,000 to the family for the loss of their son.
Both the employer and the parents challenged the ruling. The appeals court judge however maintained the first verdict but increased the payout to Dh80,000.
The employer was also told to pay for the family’s legal expenses.
