Does CTP insurance cover property or vehicle damage?

No, CTP insurance in NSW only covers personal injuries. This includes injuries to drivers, passengers, cyclists, motorcyclists, and pedestrians. It does not cover the cost of vehicle or property damage. For that, you would need to rely on your comprehensive or third-party property damage insurance. We can direct you to legal help that can assist you with your injury claim, but we do not handle property damage claims.

What if the at-fault driver cannot be identified or was uninsured?

Even if the at-fault driver cannot be identified or was uninsured, you may still be able to make a claim. The CTP scheme is designed to cover these situations, and the claim is managed by a "Nominal Defendant." Our compensation lawyers specialise in these types of complex claims and will run the matter for you from start to finish to make sure you receive everything you’re entitled to.

Can I still receive benefits if I was the at-fault driver?

Yes, you can still be entitled to benefits, even if you were the at-fault driver. The NSW CTP scheme provides for "statutory benefits" (such as weekly payments and medical expenses) for up to 52 weeks, regardless of fault. However, you would not be eligible for a lump sum compensation payout. WorkCover Hub can guide you on what to do next.

What is a "minor" or "threshold" injury?

A “minor” or “threshold” injury is a soft tissue injury or a minor psychological or psychiatric injury. If your injuries are classified as minor, you are still entitled to statutory benefits for up to 52 weeks but are not eligible for a lump sum common law payout for pain and suffering. If you are unsure about the classification of your injuries, our compensation lawyers can give you a clear assessment of your case and your eligibility.

How long does a CTP claim take to settle?

The timeframe can vary depending on the complexity of your claim. Once your claim is lodged, the insurer has four weeks to make a decision on liability. The overall process for settling a claim can take several months, especially if you’re pursuing a lump sum payout. We know how overwhelming this can be, so we focus on giving you access to the right help to make the process as smooth as possible.
