Today evening my car which was parked in corniche, was hit by an LC. driven by local guy. We went together to police station. Since I couldn't speak or understand arabic, the local guy explained the incident to police. I hope he was telling only the truth. I got a paper & was told to get the police report tommorrow.  I am concerned about the procedures to get my car repaired. can any one guide ?

How much did you pay at traffic police to obtain police report?

If you paid only 20 qr ,it means not your fault .If paid more then 20 or 120 qr implies they have considered this accident as your fault.

dont worry.  you can ask them in english about whose mistake it was ? if you have any problem, then you can ask them to recifity the fault.

After getting the paper for repair only go to any workshop and get the work done.  usually if it is not you fault, then the insurance company of the person who hit you have to get it repaired for you.

Otherwise if it is mentioned that is your mistake, then you have get it done at your own cost. Be careful. You can take any friend who knows arabic or any PRO can help you in this matter.
