Practice Areas
Insurance law in the UAE is regulated by Federal Law No. 6 of 2007, also known as the Insurance Authority Law, which established the Insurance Authority as the regulator of the insurance sector in the UAE. The law governs the establishment, operation, and supervision of insurance companies and intermediaries, as well as the regulation of insurance contracts and the settlement of insurance claims.
The Insurance Authority is responsible for issuing licenses to insurance companies and intermediaries, supervising their activities, and enforcing the provisions of the Insurance Authority Law. The Authority also has the power to impose penalties and fines on insurance companies and intermediaries that violate the law.
In the UAE, insurance law recognizes several types of insurance policies, including life insurance, health insurance, motor insurance, and property insurance. Policyholders have the right to receive the benefits specified in their insurance policies, and insurance companies are obligated to pay claims in accordance with the terms of the policy.
In the event of a dispute between a policyholder and an insurance company, the Insurance Authority provides a mediation service to resolve the dispute. If mediation is unsuccessful, the dispute can be referred to the courts for resolution.
Insurance companies, intermediaries, and policyholders need to be prudent by recruiting the services of knowledgeable attorneys specialized in insurance law with the goal of staying compliant, up-to-date and ensuring that their interests and rights are looked after.
