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.

After a serious accident that turned my life upside down and left me with ongoing physical challenges, it was incredibly reassuring to work with such a professional and ethical legal firm. Tom and Michelle were consistently honest, supportive, and compassionate, especially during the most stressful moments when the defendant kept trying to avoid responsibility. Their guidance made a huge difference. I would confidently recommend them to anyone needing legal support for an injury matter. Thank you for securing the best possible outcome for me.

I was recommended Fortitude Legal by a colleague, who’d sustained a similar injury to myself at work. Adam and his team proved to be extremely capable and great to deal with. They were upfront and transparent with the approach they thought was best and it yielded an outcome better than forecast. I’ll be recommending Fortitude Legal to friends and colleagues who find themselves in the same situation I did.
