Motor Vehicle Accident Compensation

Are you a cyclist who was injured by a motor vehicle?

Are you the victim of someone else’s negligent driving?

Was your family member the victim of a motor vehicle accident?

If you have been injured in a motor vehicle accident – either as a driver or passenger – then you are entitled to compensation. You can also claim compensation if you were a cyclist or pedestrian that was hit by a car or another motor vehicle (e.g. truck, motorbike, bus).

Under New South Wales law, compensation is available for victims of accidents that involve not only cars or motorbikes, but also public transport vehicles (buses, trains, taxis), bicycles, boats (including ferries), helicopters and airplanes. Ultimately, if you have been injured, or have acquired a disability due to an accident involving a motor vehicle, you are entitled to claim for compensation.

Can I Claim CTP Compensation After A Motor Vehicle Accident?

Owners of vehicles that require registration with the Roads and Maritime Service (RMS) must take out Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurance, otherwise known as a Green Slip. A Green Slip provides compensation for people injured in a motor vehicle accident through the State Insurance Regulatory Authority.

  • If you were injured in a motor vehicle accident and you were not at fault, you can claim compensation for costs associated with your medical treatment and rehabilitation, lost income, domestic assistance, and in some instances, pain and suffering.
  • If you were at fault and you have sustained an injury, you may be able to claim up to $5000 for medical costs incurred and income lost within the first 6 months after the accidents.
  • If you are the close relative of someone that has died in a motor vehicle accident, and another driver was partially or completely at fault, you may be able to claim compensation.
  • If you sustained a severe injury, you may be eligible for icare (Insurance & Care, NSW). The icare lifetime care scheme provides rehabilitation and other forms of care for people who have sustained spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, severe burns, have undergone an amputation, or have acquired other severe injuries.

If you are uncertain as to whether you are eligible to claim compensation, please contact Wyatts today for a thorough and personalised consultation.

What Can I Claim?

CTP payout amounts depend on the nature and severity of your injury, and your life circumstances; for instance, whether or not you were working at the time of the accident.

In NSW, motor vehicle accident compensation payouts can cover:

  • Medical treatment and rehabilitation expenses, including hospital, medical, pharmaceutical and physiotherapy. You may also claim for the transport costs associated with seeking treatment.
  • Loss of past and future income, typically paid as a lump sum when the CTP payment claim is finalised.
  • If you have been seriously injured, you can also claim for the costs of support services, including the in-home care and domestic support.
  • If you have sustained a serious injury that resulted in permanent impairment, you may be eligible to claim compensation payments for pain and suffering.

If you have experienced the tragic loss of a close relative in a motor vehicle accident, and the accident was the partial or complete fault of another driver, you may be able to claim compensation. A close relative can be a spouse, sibling, parent or a child. Payments can cover medical expenses, funeral costs, loss of financial support from the deceases loved-one, and the loss of services (e.g. parental care for a child).

We understand that victims of motor vehicle accidents, and the families of those who have lost their lives in an accident, can feel overwhelmed. That is why we are here to offer you a compassionate and attentive service. Please contact Wyatts today to talk to one of our compensation lawyers.
