Clients who have been in a car or traffic accident usually receive compensation from the Transport Accident Commission (TAC). A transport accident may involve a motor vehicle, motorcycle, taxi, bus, train or tram.

The needs of every person are different, and the TAC looks at each case individually when determining what to pay. The TAC pay a benefit which usually includes an amount for medical treatment. Some people also receive a benefit for loss of earnings.

The TAC continues to pay the reasonable costs of medical treatment, rehabilitation services, disability services, income assistance, travel and household support services that people may need as a result of injuries from a transport accident.
