Could you elaborate a bit on that? I haven't heard of such thing in the UK?
- malbs 13y agoIn Victoria the TAC handles it - "The TAC will pay the reasonable costs of medical treatment, rehabilitation services, disability services, income assistance, travel and household support services that you may need as a result of your injuries from a transport accident." They also pay out on accident claims - my brother was involved in a multi-vehicle accident as a passenger in Victoria, sustaining serious head injury which will impact him for life. In Tasmania the MAIB handles it - "The Motor Accidents Insurance Board (MAIB) is a Tasmanian Government Business Enterprise which operates a combined common law/no fault motor accident scheme for Tasmanians. The scheme provides medical and income benefits on a no fault basis to persons injured in motor vehicle accidents whilst enabling access to common law." For example, my car registration is around $600 aud per year, however only about $150 is actual registration/administration costs. The rest is a tax that is paid straight to the MAIB.
