Your Trusted TAC Lawyers
When you have been involved in a road accident, you may need to make a Transport and Accident Commission claim, or TAC claim, to access compensation. TAC claims are insurance claims lodged with the Victorian government, which means that if you are injured in a road accident in Victoria you can help pay for any costs incurred as a result. Our expert TAC lawyers can assist you to navigate this process and claim compensation.
TAC claims can be approved even if the accident was your fault, in some scenarios. The extent of support you receive will depend on the accident itself, your injuries and your unique circumstances.
To assist with this, it’s important that you enlist an expert TAC lawyer to advise you and ensure that you submit your claim on time and with the right details. TAC claims lawyers can also advise you on how to pursue compensation for anything not covered by the TAC scheme. Seeking adequate compensation will provide peace of mind to those impacted as well as their families, especially if their loved one has dependents.
What TAC Compensation Am I Entitled To?
If you were injured in a road accident in Victoria (or you have a Victorian-registered vehicle) and are suffering physical or psychological impacts, your associated expenses may be significant. Our TAC lawyers may be able to help you to claim things like:
- Medical expenses
- Loss of income
- Rehabilitation expenses
- Repair or replacement of medical items damaged in a road accident, such as dentures
We can also help you seek additional compensation for:
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Pain and suffering
Compensation for road accidents can be more extensive than you might think, especially in serious accidents. Depending on the nature of your accident, you may even be entitled to different forms of compensation. Our skilled TAC lawyers will work in your best interests, helping you to seek fair compensation wherever possible.

You’ve probably seen a lot of lawyers use the term ‘No Win, No Fee’. Long story short: you only pay us when you achieve a successful outcome. So if you don’t get paid, we don’t get paid.
Let’s break it down.
- We start by reviewing your claim in detail and give you a clear assessment of your prospects for success. We’re experts in compensation law, so we can give you an accurate assessment of your claim.
- Once we’ve established that you should pursue your claim, you can tell us if you want us to proceed as your legal representatives. To formally appoint us as your legal representative, you will enter into a ‘Conditional Costs Agreement’ with us. This is a legal contract that sets out the likely costs of running your claim based on our fees, as well as the rights and responsibilities of you as the client and us as your legal representatives.
- We’ll explain it clearly and thoroughly, with as little legal speak as possible – we promise you’ll understand it completely.
- Importantly, this agreement will set out the ‘No Win, No Fee’ arrangement in black and white. This specifies that you will not pay us anything if your claim is not successful. Our ‘No Win, No Fee’ agreement also covers you for disbursements, or outlays. These are expenses that we may need to pay to progress your claim, including medical reports, expert witness fees and barristers’ fees.
- In certain circumstances, you may be required to pay the other party’s legal costs if you are unsuccessful.
- Remember, your success rests on you providing us with an honest, comprehensive account of all matters relevant to your claim.
