Road injuries can strike twice – it’s worth having the right legal team

AS we get older, the roads can feel a little less forgiving – and unfortunately, statistics show being in more than one road accident isn’t as rare as you’d think.

In fact, more than one-third of Australians surveyed in 2022 reported having experienced two or more vehicle-related accidents.

If that sounds familiar and you’re wondering whether the TAC can help a second (or third) time around – the good news is yes, it can.

At Henry Carus + Associates, we’ve helped many Victorians, including retirees and older Australians, secure fair compensation from the TAC after repeat road accidents – even years apart.

One of our clients, Mark Connor, a motorcyclist injured in two separate accidents, was able to receive the full support and benefits he was entitled to on both occasions with our expert help.

The TAC covers more than just medical bills

If you’ve been seriously injured in a car, on a motorbike, as pedestrian, or even an electric scooter accident involving a vehicle, TAC benefits may include:

Medical treatments and in-home services

Travel costs to and from medical appointments

Income support if you’re off work

Help returning to work

A lump sum for permanent injury

Additional compensation if someone else was at fault.

If your accident happened within the past 12 months (or even up to three years with good reason), it’s not too late to claim.

 

Already made a TAC claim in the past?

Even if you’ve had a previous claim, you’re still entitled to make a new one if you’ve been injured again. The TAC allows multiple claims through its online system. And if your new injuries worsen a previous condition from an earlier accident, that may also be compensable with the right documentation and legal support.

The right representation makes all the difference

Henry Carus + Associates are not your typical legal firm. We’re here for the long haul – with five-star care, personalised attention, and a commitment to making sure you feel safe, supported, and valued. Our TAC Medical + Like Services Guarantee even helps existing TAC clients secure necessary treatments at no cost to them, for life.

So whether you’re navigating your first accident or your third, we’ll be with you every step of the way.
