A man from Northern Ireland has admitted that he had made a fraudulent claim for personal injury compensation following a bus crash. Fifty eight year old Brian Langford admitted in court that not only was he not injured in the crash, but he wasn’t even on the bus at the time of the accident.
The bus company, Translink, was successful in defending itself against Mr Langford’s attempt to gain injury compensation.
Mr Langford withdrew his claim for personal injury compensation, but Translink wanted to prosecute him for his fraudulent attempts to extort money from them. As a result of the ruling, Mr Landford had to pay the legal bill for Translink, which amounted to £2,700.
Mr Langford initially claimed that he was injured in the bus crash in 2006, but after viewing CCTV evidence, Translink discovered that he was not even on board at the time of the crash.
Mr Langford could now also face community service for his efforts to claim personal injury compensation.
