How Do I Make a CTP Compensation Claim After a Car Accident in Sydney or any parts in NSW?
If you’ve been injured in a motor vehicle accident in NSW, you can claim statutory benefits through CTP (Compulsory Third Party) insurance — including up to 52 weeks of income support (95% then 85% of your pre-accident earnings) and treatment costs — regardless of who was at fault. If another party was at fault and your injury is classified as serious (a non-threshold injury), you may also be able to claim common law damages (a lump sum). Where your Whole Person Impairment (WPI) exceeds 10%, you can additionally claim for non-economic loss (pain and suffering). The critical deadlines to remember are: lodge your claim within 28 days for income support to be backdated, the final claim deadline of 3 months, and the 3-year limitation period for litigation.
