The words ‘sue’ and ‘lawsuit’ are thrown around fairly liberally, but they don’t apply to most personal injury matters in Victoria. ⚖️ When people talk about ‘suing’ for an injury, they’re usually referring to common law damages via one of the state’s compensation schemes. In Victoria, three primary pathways for compensation include: ➕ TAC claims: covering injuries from motor vehicle accidents. ➕ WorkCover claims: for workplace injuries or illnesses. ➕ Wrongs Act claims: in cases like public liability or medical negligence. Knowing which path to take depends on your circumstances. It’s crucial to seek legal advice to understand your rights.
