FAQs
After you have had a car accident, you should always lodge a claim. If the claim is not lodged in time within these strict timeframes you may lose the risk of being liable to obtain treatment for any injuries sustained. Some injuries may not be visible immediately, and may occur weeks or months after the accident.
You have 28 days to submit and accident notification form to the Compulsory Third Party insurance company of the other driver (CTP insurer). Submitting this form allows you to make a claim for treatment or lost earnings to injured persons up to $5,000 regardless of who was at fault. You must have reported the matter to NSW Police prior to making the claim (unless the Police attended at the scene). Strict compliance is necessary or you will lose your rights
You still need to report the accident to NSW Police and within 28 days of the accident. You have up to 6 months to lodge a Personal Injury Claim Form. Forms can be easily downloaded from the website of the particular CTP insurance company or from the Motor Accidents Authority website.
In order to find out who the CTP insurer is simply call the MAA number on 1300 137 131 and you will need to give the operator the registration number for the vehicle who was at fault (or partly at fault) and the date of the accident
You should go to your doctor and chiropractor/physiotherapist to obtain a report to verify that you have suffered an injury from the accident. If you need time off work you should also get a medical certificate.
You should also seek legal advice to know what your full rights are and what you can do to help and protect yourself
You should receive a letter or even a phone call from a claims assessor pretty soon after lodging the claim form. Under law the CTP insurer is required to either accept or reject your claim within 3 months of making the claim (unless the circumstances of the accident are in dispute which means that it could take longer).
If the claim is accepted, expenses in relation to your medical and health care in relation to the injury will be covered
