Friends pray for me........I met an accident this morning, I was driving straight, a karwa taxi suddenly taken left turn to go to a way leading to left, I put the break but since it was a sudden left turn by taxi my car hit the rear of karwa taxi, my right hand front head light got broken and the bonnet got dammaged from the right. the karwa driver didn't put the break and taken it the car crossing road n hit a Q-tel feeder pillar and damaged it. I call the police and since they found my car hit the karwa taxi from behind, inspite of it that karwa driver has taken sudden left , they noted my mistake. My car is a rented car hired by my company and hope, its fully inssured. What My worry is who will be blamed and charged for Q-tel feeder pillar damage. Any suggestion and information in this regards is welcome.

Thanx

are a fact of life in Qatar.

It's not "if" I have an accident it's "when" I have an accident.

Glad you are OK.

the law is 2 seconds distance between you and the car in front. However in some cases it really is their fault but there is no solution.

My friend had this happen to him and sadly they blamed him.

Its only a car so don't worry.

If its fully insured you will have to pay nothing except the excess which should'nt be much anyway.

As for praying....its too late, you've already had the accident. Anyway, praying does'nt help anything.

You will have to pay excess clause only which is about QR 1000 in most rental car cases. Rest will be covered by the insurence of the Car rental Co.

Sorry about that Shaan. I think you'll be liable, not sure. :(

Normally car rentals are insured. All you need to do is go to the police, get the report, pay QR100 and then pay the excess to your car rental company. It should be anything between QR1200 to QR2000.

considered your mistake..you or your insurance has to pay the expenses for any damage to the car or any other assets due to this accident...

there is safe distance rule..which allow you to avoid these kind of accidents..happy that you are ok...
