In Victoria, if you have been injured in a transport accident, you may have the right to claim compensation through the Transport Accident Scheme. This scheme operates on a no-fault basis, meaning you can pursue personal injury claims regardless of who or what caused your accident, whether it was another driver, a cyclist, or unforeseen road conditions.
Importantly, compensation entitlements are not restricted solely to those physically injured in the incident. They may also extend to individuals who have witnessed a traumatic transport accident or those impacted by the death or serious injury of a close family member or loved one. This ensures broader support for those dealing with the ripple effects of road trauma.
At our Bendigo office, we are deeply committed to assisting the local community with all aspects of personal injury law and the legal system. Our friendly team of personal injury lawyers, led by our Law Institute Accredited Specialist, understand the challenges faced by those affected by transport accidents and we offer services on a no win, no fee basis, so you can access expert legal support without financial pressure.

That’s why we work tirelessly to handle all legal matters on your behalf, allowing you to focus on your health and recovery. If you or someone close to you has been injured on the road, reach out to an experienced personal injury lawyer today for compassionate and professional legal guidance.
