Motor insurance claim rejected or underpaid?

After an accident, the insurer refused your claim, offered too little for repairs or a total loss, or simply stopped replying. We review your case for free, build a complete file and follow it with the insurer and the Sanadak unit until there is a decision.

Why are motor insurance claims rejected in the UAE?

Most motor claims are rejected or reduced for reasons that can be answered with the right documents: a missing or unclear police report, a dispute over who caused the accident, a driver or licence issue the insurer relies on, an exclusion in the policy, or a valuation the owner disagrees with. A complaint that addresses the insurer's exact reason, with evidence, has a far better chance than a general objection.

Common situations

Car insurance problems we handle

These are the motor cases clients bring to us most often.

Claim rejected after an accident

The insurer refused to pay, citing the policy, the driver or the report.

Repair estimate cut down

The approved amount does not cover the garage's real repair cost.

Total loss valued too low

The market value offered is below what the car was worth.

Third-party claim disputes

The other driver's insurer will not pay for damage to your car.

Claim stuck for weeks

Surveys, approvals or payment keep being delayed without a clear answer.

Driver or licence objections

The insurer argues the driver was not covered at the time of the accident.

  3. 03

    We file and follow up

    We raise it with the insurer first, then with the Sanadak unit if it is not resolved.

  4. 04

    Decision, or appeal

    You get updates until the decision is issued, and we prepare your appeal if you need one.

The complaints route

Two stages, and we prepare both

Stage 1

Complaint to your insurer

The insurer must first get the chance to resolve your complaint, usually within 30 calendar days. A complete, well-documented complaint at this stage often settles the case.

Stage 2

The Sanadak unit

If the insurer does not resolve it, or you disagree with its answer, the complaint goes to the Sanadak unit, the official complaints body set up by the Central Bank of the UAE. Filing is free for consumers. Insurance disputes normally go here before court.

If you need to appeal

Motor insurance claims: frequently asked questions

My car insurance claim was rejected. What can I do?

Ask the insurer for the reason in writing, then complain to the insurer with evidence that answers it. If the insurer does not resolve it within about 30 days, the complaint can go to the Sanadak unit. We prepare both stages for you.

Can I dispute the total loss value of my car?

Yes. If the market value offered is too low, we gather valuation evidence for similar cars and present it in your complaint.

The other driver caused the accident. Who pays?

Usually the at-fault driver's insurer. If that insurer refuses or delays, we prepare the complaint against it on your behalf.

How long does a motor insurance complaint take?

It depends on the case. The insurer usually has 30 calendar days to respond, and the Sanadak unit then reviews the complaint. We keep you updated at every step.

Do I need to go to court?

For insurance disputes, the complaint normally goes through the Sanadak unit before court. Many cases are resolved at that stage.

How much does your service cost?

The first review is free, and filing with the Sanadak unit is free for consumers. Our fee is confirmed in writing before we start. See claim file preparation if your claim is new.
