What is a CTP claim and what can be claimed?
Under the CTP scheme in NSW, if you were injured in a motor vehicle accident in NSW you could claim compensation. That is regardless of if you were a car driver, pedestrian, cyclist, motorbike rider or passenger in the accident.
You can claim income support payments for 6 months from the date of the accident regardless of whether it was your fault or the extent of your injuries. You can also claim reasonable and necessary medical expenses regardless of whether the accident was your fault and the extent of your injuries. You may not be able to claim compensation, however, if you committed a serious driving offence in the accident.
If you were mostly at fault in the accident or if your injuries were minor injuries the income support payments will cease at the end of the first 6 months. If your injuries are non minor injuries and the accident was not mostly your fault, you may be entitled to claim a lump sum payment for past and future loss of income and opportunity and/or compensation for non-economic loss.
Compensation for non-economic loss, also known as compensation for pain and suffering is awardable if your injuries that are assessed at being more than 10% permanent impairment.

In order to lodge a CTP claim, you should submit a Personal Injury Claim form to the insurer together with supporting evidence and the medical certificate. You should lodge a claim within 28 days from the date of the accident. A claim for common law damages needs to be made within 3 years from the accident date.

If your injuries are assessed to be not greater than 10% permanent impairment, you can make a claim after 20 months has passed from the date of the accident.
