Car Accidents in Egypt with Foreigners

Thursday, 19 June 2014

Be absolutely free from the driving rules - is the most popular "law" in the Egypt for car holders. There are probably only women drive carefully but that fact doesn't decrease the count of accidents with people on the streets. Car accident may happen with anyone in any country. Here an a real example of financial fraud according to the car troubles.

There was a huge car accident in Egypt in which a foreign woman suffered badly - she was in a critical situation for a long time and lost her ability to walk. Shortly after she had woken up, a man came to visit her in the hospital, offering to become a proxy for her and represent her in the court in order to recover the indemnities. The devil is in the details, as the saying goes, and little did the girl know that there was some ‘fine print’ that said that the lawyer can act as her proxy not only in court but in the bank as well, effectively having control over her accounts for the duration of the contract.

After a few months she was visited by the same man and asked her to go to the bank to collect the money she deserved as indemnity from the car accident. He gave her a document to sign in order to finish all the procedures. The girl was overjoyed as the amount was a hefty sum and, again didn’t really pay attention to the contents. After a few months she found that she was 50% short of the amount she was entitled to receive, because the lawyer had taken ‘his cut’ with the document she signed. Such bamboozling is nothing short of sickening, yet the worst part is that it’s completely legal.

Hiring a recognized lawyer is the best insurance. Egypt can be a much better place for you if you know you’re protected. An officially recognized and well-known international attorney in Egypt will never cheat you like this, so be wary when contacting a lawyer. Make sure you’re dealing with the right people, who will in turn do right by you.
