FAQs

  • Who can make a TAC claim?

    You can make a TAC claim if you, or someone you represent, was involved in an accident caused by a motor vehicle, motorcycle, bus, train or tram in Victoria. 

    • This includes drivers, passengers, pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists injured in transport accidents. 
    • You don’t need to be at fault to claim. The TAC is a ‘no-fault’ insurance scheme owned by the Victorian Government. 
    • If a loved one was killed in a transport accident, their dependents and family members may also be eligible to claim for funeral expenses and financial support.

  • Is there a time limit on TAC claims?

    Yes. A TAC claim must be lodged within 12 months of your accident for immediate medical and other benefits. 

    • For common law damages (a lump sum payment for serious injuries), you generally have three years from the accident date. 
    • It’s critical to notify the TAC as soon as possible after your accident to ensure you don’t miss important deadlines and can access treatment and support right away. 

    If you’re unsure whether you’re within the time limits, contact us immediately. We’ll be able to assess your situation and advise on your options.

  • What can I claim with a TAC case?

    Your TAC claim may entitle you to coverage for:

    • Medical treatment and services
    • Income support if you’re unable to work as a result of the accident
    • Return to work support
    • Replacement or repair of damaged glasses or dentures
    • A lump sum payment
    • Medical Treatment visa application fees if required

  • How much TAC compensation can I receive?

    The type and amount of support you receive depends on your individual circumstances, the severity of your injuries, how the accident has impacted your ability to work and enjoy life and your ongoing medical and care needs. 

    • Weekly income payments are calculated based on your pre-accident earnings 
    • Lump sum payments for serious injuries can be substantial 
    • Medical and treatment costs are covered in full for approved services 

    During your free consultation, we’ll assess your situation, explain what compensation you may be entitled to.
