The time it takes to make a TAC claim can vary depending on the complexity of the case and how quickly supporting documents are gathered. Typically, the entire process starts with submitting a TAC claim form and medical certificate after a road or transport accident.
Some claims are resolved within a few months, while serious injury claims may take longer due to obtaining compensation and medical reports. Early legal representation from skilled road accident lawyers can help speed up the process.
To make a TAC claim, it’s a good idea to seek legal advice from a Personal Injury Lawyer or a law firm experienced in TAC law, even though you can do so on your own. You must complete a TAC claim form and provide a medical certificate documenting the injuries sustained in a traffic accident or pedestrian accident.
Keep a record of all medical services that you require and any out-of-pocket expenses related to the injury. Our TAC lawyers in Melbourne can assist you through the entire process, including claiming common law damages if applicable, and negotiating compensation with the Transport Accident Commission.
The average TAC payout depends on the severity of the injury and the costs incurred. TAC pays compensation for medical and like expenses, lost income, rehabilitation and impairment benefits for permanent injuries. There is no TAC claim cost, but legal costs will generally apply if you work with a lawyer for your matter.
For minor injuries, payouts may cover medical appointments and out-of-pocket expenses. For serious injury claims, lump sum claims or common law damages may be awarded. The maximum compensation varies with each case, and legal representation can help maximise your entitlement.
A common law payout is compensation awarded beyond and separately from standard TAC benefits to those who have suffered serious injury in a car accident due to someone else’s negligence. This payout covers pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and economic loss.
Claimants must prove liability and the severity of injuries sustained. A personal injury law firm specialising in TAC law can assist in preparing a serious injury claim and securing a lump sum payment through the common law process.
If your TAC claim is rejected, seek legal advice immediately. You have the right to appeal the decision through the TAC’s review process or in court. A lawyer can help gather further evidence, such as medical certificates and accident reports, to support your case. It is vital to act quickly, as strict time limits apply when contesting claim rejections to avoid losing entitlement to compensation.
In Victoria, TAC claims must generally be made within 12 months of the accident occurring or the injury first becoming apparent. For serious injury claims or lump sum claims, there may be different time limits. It is essential to submit your TAC claim form and medical certificate as soon as possible.
Road accident lawyers or personal injury lawyers can advise on these time limits and help ensure your claim is lodged within the required period to avoid losing your right to compensation.
You may be entitled to lump sum compensation under TAC if you have suffered a serious injury in a road or transport accident that results in permanent impairment. This lump sum payment is part of lump sum claims designed to cover long-term costs such as medical services, rehabilitation and loss of income.
