Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 4694

The worker’s or his heirs’ right to lump-sum compensation for an occupational injury does not preclude a claim against the responsible employer for the damage remaining uncompensated where the damage arose from his personal fault. This fault must be proved. The rules of presumed liability do not apply to it. - Compensation guaranteed by the Labour Law may be combined with compensation arising from the fault of the employer’s subordinate. This is conditional upon proof of the subordinate’s fault. Example.
