Car Accident Compensation | No Win No Fee

Car owners must register their vehicles with the Roads and Maritime Service (RMS), and they 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 a 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 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 motor vehicle accidents. 

If you are the close relative of someone that has died in a motor vehicle accident  

If another driver was partially or completely at fault, you may be able to claim a 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 due to a motor vehicle accident.

Motor Vehicle accidents while travelling for work.

If you were involved in a motor vehicle accident while you were travelling for work, as a driver or passenger, you may be able to claim a compensation through the Workers Compensation Scheme. 

Your CTP payment claim amount depends on the nature and severity of your injury, and your life circumstances at the time of the accident, for instance, whether or not you were working. 

Car accident compensation payments can cover: 

• Loss of past and future income, typically paid as a lump sum when the CTP payment claim is finalised. 
• The costs of support services, including in-home care and domestic support. 
• Payments for pain and suffering. 
• Medical treatment and rehabilitation expenses – these may include a variety of services, such as hospital stays, medical examinations and treatments, prescription medications, physiotherapy, occupational therapy and other forms of therapeutic interventions.  
• The cost of transport related to seeking out medical/rehabilitation treatment. This might include the cost of travelling between hospitals or specialist clinics by public or private transport, taxis or other types of transportation.  
• In some cases, an individual may be eligible for financial assistance in order to cover the cost of medical treatments and rehabilitation services. It is important to check with your local government or health insurance provider on what type of assistance is available. Depending on your circumstances, it may be possible to access subsidies or reimbursements for medical treatments and rehabilitation expenses incurred throughout the course of treatment. Furthermore, there are a range of organizations that provide support and advice to those looking for financial assistance when it comes to covering medical treatment and rehabilitation costs. 

If you have lost a close relative in a motor accident, you may be entitled to claim compensation. 

If you have experienced the tragic loss of a close relative in a motor 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 child. Payments can cover medical expenses, funeral costs, loss of financial support from the deceased loved one, and the loss of services (e.g. parental care for a child).
