Understanding Car Accident Compensation in Kuwait
Car accident compensation covers financial redress for:
- Physical injuries and psychological trauma
- Damage to your vehicle and personal property
- Lost income due to inability to work
- Medical and rehabilitation expenses
Every road user—drivers, passengers, motorcyclists, and bicyclists—has the right to seek full compensation after a collision.
Legal Framework for Compensation Claims
Under Kuwait’s Civil Code (Law No. 67/1980):
- Article 163 (Erroneous Act): Anyone who causes harm through a wrongful act is obligated to compensate the injured party.
- Article 228 (Multiple Tortfeasors): If several people jointly cause damage, each is liable for the entire loss, with contribution apportioned to their degree of fault.
These provisions underpin all car accident compensation claims.
Eligibility and Claim Requirements
To file a successful compensation claim, you must:
- Prove the crash occurred and caused your losses.
- Show a direct link (causation) between the other party’s negligence and your injuries or damage.
- Document physical or financial harm requiring compensation.
- Be legally competent (over 21 years old in Kuwait).
- Quantify your losses with medical reports, repair estimates, and income statements.
- File your claim within the three-year statutory deadline.
- Attend court hearings in person to avoid forfeiture of your rights.
When Compensation Claims Are Denied
Courts may reject a claim if:
- No demonstrable harm or only minimal, non-compensable damage exists.
- Insufficient evidence links the defendant’s fault to your losses.
- You contributed significantly to the accident through negligence.
- You settle privately with the at-fault party or withdraw your suit.
- The claim is deemed frivolous or malicious.
- Your claim exceeds the three-year filing period or violates procedural rules.

Frequently Asked Questions on Car Accident Compensation in Kuwait
1. How is compensation calculated? Compensation is based on documented losses: medical bills, repair costs, lost income, and non-pecuniary damages such as pain and suffering.
2. Can I claim if I was partially at fault? Yes. Kuwait’s comparative fault principle reduces your compensation by your percentage of responsibility.
3. How long does a compensation case take? Simple cases may resolve in 6–12 months; complex or disputed claims can extend beyond a year.
4. Do I need to go to criminal court? Your lawyer files a civil compensation claim alongside or after any criminal proceedings against the at-fault driver.
