Careers at Guardian Injury Law

The TAC scheme is designed to provide compensation for those injured as a result of a transport accident in Victoria. However, the meaning of “as a result of a transport accident” has been brought into question in the Victorian Supreme Court, Court of Appeal.

If you have sustained an injury or illness, whether at work or outside of work, you may be able to claim an insurance benefit known as a TPD claim. This benefit is usually attached to your super fund. Our clients often ask us how long a TPD claim will take, what can complicate the process and how to overcome this to ensure a successful application.

If you’re injured in a transport accident in Victoria and your TAC claim for compensation is accepted, you may still face disputes over ongoing benefits.

If you have a pre-existing injury that has worsened because of your job, you may be eligible to lodge a WorkCover claim. This includes injuries that have been aggravated, accelerated, exacerbated, or have reoccurred due to your work duties.
