If you have been injured in a motor vehicle accident – either as a driver or passenger – then you are entitled to car accident compensation. You can also make a motor vehicle accident claim if you were a cyclist or pedestrian that was hit by a car.
Under New South Wales law, compensation is available for victims of a motor accident through the Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurance scheme. Ultimately, if you have been injured, or have acquired a disability due to a motor vehicle accident, you are entitled to a compensation claim.
If you have been involved in a motor vehicle accident involving another kind of registered motor vehicle (e.g. boat, bus, helicopter, aeroplane), then you may also be entitled to make a motor vehicle accident claim.

Were you a passenger/pedestrian/cyclist involved in an accident?
You may be surprised to learn that you could be owed money from a car accident, even if you weren’t driving!
The reason for this is that the compensation plan doesn’t only apply to those injured in a motor accident.
For example, in New South Wales, the Motor Accident claims Compensation Scheme covers passengers injured in car accidents, pedestrians crossing the road, cyclists and pillion passengers on motorbikes.
Even if the car that caused the accident was uninsured, unregistered or its driver unidentified, people who were not injured in motor vehicle accidents are not automatically excluded from making motor vehicle accident claims.

The amount you receive for your car accident compensation claim is based on the seriousness of your injuries, which will be classified as either ‘minor’ or ‘non-minor’.
Minor Injuries (depending on severity of injury) include:
- Sore back
- Whiplash
- Soft tissue and muscle injuries
Non-minor Injuries include:
- Broken bones
- Head or brain injury
- Injuries that require surgery
- Organ Damage
It is essential to take into consideration that the amount of money you are eligible for from a motor vehicle accident will depend on the extent of your injuries and losses, such as lost wages, medical bills, costs associated with repairing any damage to your vehicle, and possibly even pain and suffering.
Depending on the state and insurance company you are dealing with, any compensation for property damage may be taken into account when evaluating the amount of money you receive for your losses. As such, it is important to consider all aspects when discussing how much money you may be entitled to from an accident.
Category Entitlements – overview of car accident compensation benefits:
Minor Injuries:
- Income support
- medical expenses
- home care expenses (for up to 6 months)
Non-minor Injuries:
- Income support
- Medical expenses
- Come care expenses (can extend beyond 24 months if there is a claim for damages)
- Lump sum payment for past and future lost income
Non-minor Injuries over 10% permanent impairment:
- An additional lump sum for pain and suffering
You could be eligible for pain and suffering damages, which will be based on the effect your injuries have had on your life. The maximum amount that can be paid out is $595,000.
You are only eligible for a lump sum payment if you have endured a serious injury and it has resulted in a loss of enjoyment of life.
This is expressed as a percentage, with 10% being the minimum required to be considered seriously injured.
Even if you caused a motor vehicle accident, or were partially to blame, you can still claim compensation for the accident as long as:
- You weren’t charged with a serious driving offence in connection with the accident, and
- You weren’t driving an uninsured vehicle.
Understanding Common Law Claims
In a road or transport accident case, a common law claim involves taking action against a negligent party. So, if another person was at fault for your accident and you have a serious injury, you may be entitled to claim damages through a common law claim. This is in addition to in to your other Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurance entitlements.
For example, if the driver of the other car ran a stop sign, causing the accident, then you may be entitled to common law compensation.
This can compensate you for your pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and past and future financial loss.
