Help with a TAC treatment decision after a cycling accident

If you’ve been hurt while cycling and the TAC won’t cover all the treatment you need, the uncertainty can add pressure while you’re managing your health. In Victoria, the TAC is the Transport Accident Commission, and Maurice Blackburn can help you understand the decision and the options open to you.

In summary: We handle TAC and road accident claims, including questions about treatment funding after a cycling accident. We’ll review what the TAC has said, the information behind the decision and whether there are further steps to consider.

Who can help you question a TAC treatment decision?

We can help you assess a decision where the TAC has only approved part of your treatment. Our TAC lawyers can explain the process in plain English, review the reasons for the decision and discuss what support may be available under your circumstances. Read more about road accident claim help.

It helps to have documents that show both the decision and your treatment needs, such as:

• the TAC letter or email

• referrals, treatment plans and medical certificates

• invoices or quotes for proposed treatment

• notes about how your injuries affect work and everyday activities.

What can we review with you?

We’ll look at the treatment the TAC has approved, what it has declined and the medical information that relates to those items. If your injuries have had an ongoing impact on your ability to work or everyday life, it may be worth understanding whether a common law claim is available. Not every situation meets the legal requirements.

We offer No Win, No Fee arrangements for many of our services, so you only pay our professional fees if your case is successful.
