Traffic accident costs hit 25M OMR in Q2
The second quarter of 2026 saw a 14.8% increase in traffic accidents in Oman, with approximately 21,700 incidents reported compared to 18,900 incidents in the previous year. Claims reached 22,000, with a total value exceeding 25 million Omani rials, including one million rials related to fatalities. The data also showed an increase in claims for minor accidents and injuries, while claims for serious accidents involving material damage and fatalities declined. These figures reflect a noticeable rise in both the number of accidents and financial costs, highlighting the importance of enhancing safety and preventative measures to reduce human and material losses—especially given the challenges faced by insurance companies in handling increased claims and reassessing premiums.
