If you're injured in a Victorian transport accident, the TAC can support your treatment and income regardless of fault — and if the injury is serious, you may have a further claim.
If you've been injured in a car accident in Victoria that wasn't your fault, the first port of call for your injuries is usually the TAC — the no-fault scheme covering reasonable medical costs and income support if you can't work.
Where the injury is serious and meets the legal threshold, you may also have a common-law claim for damages against the at-fault driver — separate to TAC support, with its own deadlines.
Vehicle and property damage is handled differently — usually through insurance, not the TAC.
