Your Transport Accident Questions, Answered by Melbourne’s Legal Experts
If you’ve been involved in a transport accident, it’s important to prioritise your safety and wellbeing. Seek medical attention immediately, document the accident scene, and report the incident to the police and the TAC (Transport Accident Commission). Avoid making any statements or accepting liability until you’ve consulted a lawyer.
At Pentana Stanton Lawyers, we help you understand your rights and guide you through the TAC claims process to ensure you’re on the right path from the start.
A transport accident lawyer is essential in securing the compensation you deserve. We handle all aspects of your claim, from gathering evidence and managing paperwork to negotiating with the TAC and representing your interests if disputes arise.
At Pentana Stanton, we provide personalised support to ensure your medical bills, lost wages, and other expenses are covered, so you can focus on recovery while we handle the complexities.
Compensation depends on the nature of your injuries and the impact on your life. Under Victoria’s TAC scheme, you may be eligible for payments covering medical expenses, loss of earnings, rehabilitation costs, and, in some cases, lump-sum compensation for serious injuries.
Our experienced lawyers assess your unique situation, advocate for your full entitlements, and work to achieve the best possible outcome for your case.
Who is eligible to make a TAC claim?
Anyone injured in a transport accident involving a car, motorcycle, bus, train, or tram in Victoria can make a claim with the Transport Accident Commission (TAC). This includes drivers, passengers, pedestrians, and cyclists. Even if the accident was your fault, you may still be eligible for certain benefits.
What types of compensation can I receive from the TAC?
The TAC provides compensation for medical and rehabilitation expenses, income support for lost wages, lump-sum payments for permanent impairments, and, in cases of serious injury caused by another party’s negligence, common law damages for pain and suffering and loss of earning capacity.
Is there a time limit to lodge a TAC claim?
Yes, you must lodge your TAC claim within 12 months of the date of the accident or the date the injury first becomes evident. In exceptional circumstances, claims may be accepted up to three years after the accident if a reasonable excuse for the delay is provided.
Can I make a TAC claim if the accident occurred outside of Victoria?
You may be eligible to make a TAC claim for interstate accidents if you are a Victorian resident and the accident involved a Victorian-registered vehicle. Specific conditions apply, so it’s advisable to consult with a legal professional for guidance.
Do I need a lawyer to make a TAC claim?
While it’s not mandatory to have a lawyer to lodge a TAC claim, engaging one can be beneficial, especially for complex cases or when pursuing common law damages. A lawyer experienced in TAC claims can help navigate the process and advocate on your behalf.
What should I do immediately after a transport accident?
Seek medical attention promptly, report the accident to the police, gather details of the accident (including information about other parties involved and any witnesses), and notify the TAC. Documenting the incident thoroughly will support your claim.
How long does it take to receive compensation from the TAC?
The timeframe varies depending on the complexity of the case. Some straightforward cases may be resolved in a few months, while more complex cases can take over a year. It’s important to provide all required information promptly and maintain communication with the TAC to facilitate the process.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
The TAC operates a no-fault scheme, meaning you can still receive benefits even if you were partially or wholly at fault. However, if you were under the influence of alcohol or drugs, unlicensed, or involved in criminal activities at the time of the accident, your entitlements may be reduced or denied.
