## Summary

Renee Bilal, a Melbourne woman injured when a car turned across her motorbike in 2023, has secured a settlement after a prolonged recovery and legal dispute with Victoria’s Transport Accident Commission. The crash left her with serious injuries and ongoing pain, and she says the two-year ordeal nearly broke her.

Bilal was 24 when she collided with a Holden Commodore on an 80km/h road; police found the driver at fault for failing to give way. She suffered a shattered pelvis and broken wrist, underwent three surgeries and four hospital stays, and had to relearn to walk after operations. She has not returned to work and continues physiotherapy. The settlement amount is private.
