Hi, I am a bus driver and had a road traffic accident that was not my fault.
I was working the late shift a few days ago and had an accident at work, a car crashed into me while I was driving the bus, I have cameras on the bus and they show that the other driver was at fault.
The other driver hit the side of my bus and I hurt my back, I also had to take some time off work while the accident was being investigated, will I be able to claim compensation for time off work while the accident is being investigated, it was obviously the other drivers fault but he would not admit liability.
Will claiming for compensation for whiplash affect my driving licence? Because I need to drive to work and would I need to take time off work as part of a work related injury?
Also do you have a team that deals with claims in Northern Ireland because I live in Belfast?
