Pay Deceased Heirs Kd 30000 For Egyptian Expat

The Court of Appeals ordered an insurance company to pay heirs of a deceased Egyptian expatriate (former employee of a big company) KD 30,000 in consequence of the company’s negligence and non-compliance to safety and security regulations. The lawsuit filed by Lawyer Hassan Al-Ajmi on behalf of the plaintiff indicated some employees of the company caused the death of the victim unintentionally due to lack of security and safety system, and negligence of the company. According to the lawyer, the employee was a subcontractor at the site where the incident occurred and the defense company was the main contractor, which should have provided security and safety thereof. He explained the victim was assigned to go down into a manhole at Jaber Al-Ahmad City, which was six meters deep, to clean without affirming if the place was free of poisonous substance. The company did not even provide the victim necessary materials such as overall, mask, helmet and boots for that purpose.
