We provide legal assistance to those seriously injured in transport accidents
TAC claims are our sole focus and we work to ensure our clients achieve the best possible lump sum compensation outcome in the shortest possible time.
Peter Burt and Clara Davies, the owners of Burt & Davies, are expert transport accident/TAC lawyers located in Melbourne. The most important thing to know about Burt & Davies is that TAC claims are all we do. We are Victoria’s only law firm dedicated solely to transport accident claims and representing the most seriously injured transport accident victims. This is our key difference.
For the past 20 years we have acted for countless Victorians who have suffered injury in cars, on motorbikes and operating farm vehicles and machinery. We have also assisted many cyclists and pedestrians who have been struck and injured by motor vehicles, trams and trains. We have represented TAC claimants in their lump sum impairment, serious injury and common law claims and consistently produced the best compensation outcomes in the shortest possible time frames, as the latest official TAC statistics prove. We are Victoria’s expert TAC lawyers.
Whilst we are the leading TAC lawyers we also:

The above claims are easy for us to make, but why not look at the prestigious awards we’ve won and listen to what our clients have to say?
