Motorbike Accident
In NSW, all persons injured due to a motorbike accident, regardless of fault, are eligible to lodge a claim for benefits.
Pedestrian Accident
Pedestrian accident compensation claims fall under the broader category of motor vehicle accident (MVA) claims and can have significant implications for all parties involved.

Truck Accident
Truck accident claims fall under the broader category of motor vehicle accident (MVA) claims, but due to the size and nature of commercial trucks, they often involve unique complexities.
What to Do After a Motor Vehicle Accident
The moments immediately following a motor vehicle accident can feel chaotic and frightening however, there are several important steps you need to take:
- First, ensure everyone is safe and seek medical attention as soon as possible – even for injuries that seem minor.
- Report the accident to police, particularly if anyone has been injured or there is significant property damage.
- Collect the contact details, registration numbers, and insurance information of all parties involved.
- Take photographs of the scene, vehicles, and any visible injuries. If there are witnesses, note their names and contact details as well.
- Notify the CTP insurer within 28 days of the accident happening. This is a critical step with strict time limits attached, and failing to lodge on time can affect your entitlements.
Common Injuries in Motor Vehicle Accidents
Some of the most common injuries we see in motor vehicle accident claims include:
- Whiplash and other soft tissue injuries
- Spinal injuries and back injury
- Head injuries and traumatic brain injury
- Cuts, lacerations, and scarring
- Broken bones and fractures
- Neck injuries
- Internal organ damage
- Psychological injuries
Psychological injuries, including anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder are increasingly recognised under NSW law. If you have experienced psychological harm following a motor vehicle accident, you may be entitled to claim compensation for counselling, treatment, and the emotional impact on your daily life.
