Having a lawyer can increase your compensation by up to 7.5 times compared to going it alone~.

Without legal advice your CTP claim could be left short of what you need

When you’re injured, it can be overwhelming to navigate a motor vehicle accident claim. It may seem quicker and easier to just deal with the insurer. But the insurer’s lawyer isn’t your lawyer and doesn’t have your best interests at heart.

If you’re injured, what’s the true cost to you? 

When you’re injured in a motor vehicle accident, claiming the compensation you're entitled to is important to protecting what matters most to you and your loved ones. Depending on your accident and injuries you could claim compensation to help you cover:

  • Loss of income  

  • Medical or allied health treatment, including hospital costs 

  • Injury rehabilitation expenses 

  • Help at home (such as cleaning and gardening)

  • Travelling expenses (for necessary medical appointments) 

  • Return to work or retraining services 

  • Pain and suffering

FAQs about the CTP green slip claim process

Is there a time limit to claim accident compensation?

Strict time limits apply in NSW to claim motor vehicle accident injury compensation. Get in touch with a legal expert to check what your claim is really worth, as soon as possible.

What is CTP insurance?

Compulsory third party (CTP) insurance (or ‘green slip’ insurance) is mandatory in NSW and is included with a vehicle’s registration. It covers the cost if someone is injured or dies in a motor vehicle accident. It doesn’t cover property damage to your vehicle.
