At Stringer Clark, we’ve seen how road trauma affects entire families and communities throughout Western Victoria. 

Accidents on regional roads often involve different factors than metropolitan crashes. Wildlife, weather, road maintenance issues and longer emergency response times can affect both the accident itself and the recovery process.

Your Trusted TAC Lawyers

The Transport Accident Commission (TAC) may run excellent public campaigns to reduce the road toll, but they’re also an insurer responsible for managing claims costs. It’s in the TAC’s financial interest to limit compensation – that’s where our team comes in, to fight for fair compensation.

A TAC claim may result in crucial coverage for:

  • Medical treatment
  • Services required for recovery
  • 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

FAQs

  • What is a TAC claim?

    A TAC claim is an insurance claim made through Victoria’s Transport Accident Commission for injuries sustained in a road or transport accident involving a car, motorcycle, bus, train or tram. The TAC provides no-fault insurance, meaning you can claim regardless of who caused the accident. This support covers medical treatment, income loss and rehabilitation to help you recover and return to your normal life after a transport accident.

  • What evidence do I need for a road accident claim?

    Strong evidence helps support your TAC claim and ensures you receive appropriate compensation. Essential documentation includes: 

    • Medical notes
    • Witness statements
    • Official reports
    • Photo documentation

    If possible, also keep records of all expenses related to your accident, including any medical bills, prescription costs and travel to appointments. Our team can help you gather any missing evidence and build a comprehensive claim.
