Do I need to know if I have a claim before enquiring?

No. You can submit a quick enquiry even if you are unsure whether you have a claim. Legal Advice can help assess what may be available based on your circumstances — we do not guarantee any particular outcome.

What is a NSW CTP claim?

Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurance may provide support to people injured in motor vehicle accidents on NSW roads. What may be available depends on your injuries, the accident and applicable law — it is not automatic compensation.

What information do I need to start?

Name and mobile are the only required fields. Accident date, location and injury details can help us guide you, but you can add those in step two or discuss them on your callback.

How long do I have to make a claim?

Time limits may apply to CTP claims in NSW. It is important to seek advice promptly so you can understand any deadlines that may affect your situation.

Is there a cost for the initial enquiry?

The initial enquiry is free. Legal Advice can explain next steps and, where relevant, discuss fee arrangements for eligible claims.

What CTP support might be worth exploring?

CTP may relate to treatment, time off work, care needs and other support depending on your injuries. What applies is assessed individually.

What if the accident happened during work?

Work-related road accidents may involve both CTP and workers compensation pathways. Legal Advice can help you understand which enquiries may be relevant first.
