CTP Lawyer Help in SydneyQuestions about claims in Parramatta & Cumberland
No. Where you live doesn't decide whether you can claim; the NSW CTP scheme applies to motor accidents in NSW. Crashes after big events often involve heavy traffic, shuttle buses or rideshare vehicles, so note exactly which vehicle you were in or were hit by, get the driver's and registration details, and keep any police event number. Then see a doctor and aim to lodge within 28 days.
No. The CTP scheme runs statewide, so a crash on the Great Western Highway at Katoomba is handled under the same rules as one on Woodville Road, and the claim can be run from home. See your usual GP for treatment and the Certificate of Fitness, lodge through the Service NSW online form or with the insurer, and keep your receipts and any police event number.
