ACCIDENT Compensation Commission, Fiji (ACCF) CEO Parvez Akbar says he is saddened by the injuries suffered by victims of the bus accident which included Delana Primary School students on Wednesday at Banaras, Lautoka.
He said whilst the actual cause of the accident is still under investigation, the ACCF team is liaising with the Fiji Police Force in respect of the accident, and identifying victims and their families so the commission can provide assistance with applications for compensation. Mr Akbar says the ACCF encourages parents and legal guardians to reach out to the Commission for assistance.
They can contact ACCF as follows:
• Phone number: 8923770
• Email: info@accf.com.fj
• Message on Facebook
Application forms can also be obtained from any branch of the Land Transport Authority of Fiji and parents and legal guardians should not hesitate to contact ACCF regarding the application process.
Since 2018 ACCF has received 145 applications involving bus accidents. All road users are requested to share the roads safely and responsibly as we have already lost 44 lives on our roads this year compared to 14 this time last year.
