Injured in a rideshare or taxi accident in Victoria?
Rideshare drivers (Uber, Didi, Ola), taxi drivers and their passengers are all covered by Victoria's TAC no-fault scheme if injured in a transport accident - including support for lost income.
Drivers are covered too
As a rideshare or taxi driver, a transport accident that injures you is covered by the TAC - medical treatment and income support - regardless of who was at fault.
Proving your income
Because rideshare and taxi income can vary, a loss-of-earnings claim often needs evidence such as trip records, bank statements, BAS or tax returns, or platform earnings reports. A lawyer experienced with driver claims knows what the TAC looks for.
Passengers are covered
If you were a passenger injured in a rideshare or taxi, you are also covered by the TAC for your injuries - you do not need to have been driving.
Your vehicle and third parties
The TAC covers injuries, not vehicle damage. Damage to your car, or recovery from an at-fault driver, is handled separately through insurance or a recovery claim, which some firms run alongside your injury claim.
