CTP Lawyer Help in SydneyQuestions about claims in Canterbury-Bankstown
No. Our claim check is done by phone and online, so you can start it from home in Bankstown, Campsie or Revesby. If your case needs a lawyer, many motor accident lawyers work by phone and video, and you can ask about meeting in person when you are referred if that suits you better. Your own GP can generally provide the Certificate of Fitness the claim needs.
The claim is made to the CTP insurer of the relevant vehicle, not to anyone in the town where it happened, and the NSW scheme applies across the whole state. That means you can deal with everything from home. Get medical care, ask the police for the event number if they attended, and try to lodge within 28 days so weekly payments can be back-paid to the day after the accident.
