Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to use the TAC scheme?
If you were injured in a motor vehicle accident on a Victorian road, the TAC is the primary compensation scheme. However, if your injuries are serious, you may also be eligible for common law damages on top of TAC benefits.
What is a 'serious injury' under TAC law?
A serious injury allows you to sue for common law damages including pain and suffering. It requires a significant and permanent impairment. We assess your injuries and advise on your eligibility.
How long do I have to make a TAC claim?
You must report the accident to police (if required) and lodge a TAC claim within 12 months of the accident. For minors, time limits are different. Contact us promptly — don't let your claim lapse.
