You can lodge your own claim without using a lawyer. However, it’s important to understand that if you leave out important details in your application, or if your medical assessment isn’t completed correctly, it’s likely you’ll miss out on benefits you’re entitled to. Our vehicle accident lawyers can help you claim everything you’re entitled to, and we’ll provide free advice over the phone.
Here are three ways our lawyers can help you with your motor accident injury claim:
We work on a no win no fee, no disbursements basis, so you’ll only need to pay us if we win, and you receive your motor accident compensation. Check out our No Win, No Fee page, which covers our approach and gives you what we believe to be the best and fairest agreement in Australia.
You have one year from the date of the accident or the date when your injury first manifests itself to submit your claim.
However, the TAC may also accept your claim if it’s made within three years of the accident or the date when the injury first manifests itself, and you have reasonable grounds for the delay in making your claim
For more on TAC time limits and other eligibility criteria, read our guide TAC Claims: How To Find Out If You’re Eligible.
You should receive a decision from the TAC on whether it’s accepting or denying your claim within 21 days. If you don’t get a decision or your claim is denied, you can ask for a review by the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT). You can also call us on 13 15 15 for free legal advice on your options.
