CTP Lawyer Help in SydneyQuestions about claims in the Lower North Shore & Ryde
Generally, yes. The NSW CTP scheme covers people injured in motor accidents in NSW, and it isn't limited to Australian citizens or permanent residents. What you can claim depends on your injuries and circumstances, including whether you were working before the crash. See a doctor, keep the Certificate of Fitness and your receipts, note the other driver's details and any police event number, and lodge within 28 days if you can.
No. Claims can be lodged through the Service NSW online form or directly with the insurer, and our claim check is done by phone and online. If you're referred to a lawyer, many motor accident lawyers are happy to work by phone or video, and you can ask to meet face to face if you'd prefer. A GP near home or work can generally provide the Certificate of Fitness.
