In summary

A TAC claim is meant to support you, but getting the support you’re entitled to isn’t always simple.

Having the right legal guidance can help you avoid delays, understand your options, and feel confident that someone is standing up for you.

At Maurice Blackburn, we combine experience with empathy. We’re here to make the process clearer, reduce the stress, and help you move forward.


A TAC claim is there to support you after a transport accident. Understanding what you’re entitled to can take time, and you don’t have to work it out on your own.

A TAC claim lawyer can guide you through the process, helping you understand your rights and what to expect. With the right support, you can focus on your recovery while someone experienced manages the details.

They can help prepare your claim, gather the right information, and make sure the TAC has a clear picture of your situation. If issues arise, you’ll have someone on your side to explain your options and support you every step of the way.

How Maurice Blackburn can help

At Maurice Blackburn, we understand that a transport accident can change your life in an instant. And the impact is not just physical. It can affect your work, your family, and your sense of security. We’re here to lessen that burden. We help with:

Lodging a TAC claim

We make sure your application is complete, accurate, and submitted on time.

Disputed or denied claims

We challenge decisions that don’t reflect your circumstances.

Impairment and common law claims

We pursue lump-sum compensation for permanent impairment and, where negligence is involved, common law damages for the broader impact of your injuries.

Ongoing support

We manage communication with the TAC, handle paperwork, and keep you informed.

Our team has extensive experience with TAC claims across Victoria. We take the time to listen, explain things clearly, and stand by you at every step, so you can focus on your recovery.

We work on a No Win, No Fee basis. That means you don’t pay legal fees unless your claim is successful.

Frequently asked questions

You can lodge a TAC claim on your own. However, legal advice can help you understand your full entitlements and avoid mistakes that may affect your claim.

As early as possible. Early advice can help ensure your claim is set up correctly and that important deadlines are met.

You may still have options. We can review your circumstances, explain the reasons for the decision, and advise whether it can be challenged. Because strict time limits apply to disputing TAC decisions, it’s important to seek legal advice as soon as possible if your claim has been denied.

No Win, No Fee means you don't have to pay legal fees unless your claim is successful. We’ll explain exactly how it works before you proceed.

In some cases, yes. If your injuries were caused by someone else’s negligence, you may be able to pursue a common law claim for compensation.
