In Victoria, if you've been injured in a transport accident, you may be entitled to compensation under the Transport Accident Scheme, regardless of who or what caused the incident.

These rights aren't limited to those directly involved in the accident; they can also extend to individuals who have witnessed a transport accident or been affected by the death or serious injury of someone close to them.

Our Geelong office is dedicated to supporting the local community with all types of personal injury claims and related legal services. We are no win no fee personal injury lawyers, and your first consultation is obligation-free. We understand the stress caused by your changed financial circumstances that can follow an injury. If you or a loved one has been hurt on the road, let our local team of experienced motor vehicle accident lawyers handle the legal side so you can focus on your recovery.
