Medical bills after a cyclist is hit by a car

In summary: Being knocked off your bike can leave you coping with injuries and unexpected bills at the same time. Maurice Blackburn handles road accident claims across Australia, except in New South Wales and South Australia, and we can explain the process that applies where your crash happened.

What can help with your treatment costs?

A cyclist hit by a car may have access to support through the road accident scheme that applies to the crash. In Victoria, the Transport Accident Commission (TAC) runs a no-fault scheme, meaning fault does not usually decide whether you can seek certain benefits. These can include medical, hospital and rehabilitation expenses.

Documents that can help us assess the situation include:

• medical certificates, invoices and receipts

• a police event number or crash report

• details of the driver and their vehicle

• photos of the scene, bike damage or injuries
