All perfect praise be to Allah The Lord of the Worlds and may His peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions

. According to Islamic Jurisprudence, it is permissible to receive compensation due to harm. Jurists have clarified the reasons that obligate receiving a financial compensation, but there is no room, here, for further elaboration. In fact, there are many an evidence in this regard. For example, Allah, The Almighty, said, "and pay compensation to the deceased’s family..."{An-Nisa`, 92}. In this verse, Allah, The Exalted, has ordained paying a compensation in case of accidental killing. In principle, compensation for harm is the liability of the doer and could be that of the person causing the action, because what obligates paying the compensation is the action itself. Al-Kasani(May Allah have mercy on him) said, "Undoubtedly, destruction is what obligates paying a compensation, because when something is destroyed it can`t give the usual benefit it used to, and this is transgression and harm." {Badai` Al-Sanaei`, 7/164}.

As understood from the above question, the bus driver and the company are liable for the compensation because both were negligent: the busdriver didn`t comply with the traffic laws and the company didn`t pay for the insurance or license of the bus. Also, the company didn`t register the injured employee under the social security, although it is a right of his.

Since both parties are negligent, then the questioner has the right to claim a compensation from both. And Allah Knows best.
