A CTP claim can be made if an injury is caused by someone else in a motor vehicle accident. In more complicated accidents, proving liability (fault) may require:
expert opinion;
a careful analysis of:
the mechanics of the accident;
adherence to driving laws
detailed disclosure and information requests to the other side; and/or
forensic investigation of the scene.
If you’ve been injured in a road accident caused by someone else, need to:
See a doctor as soon as possible after the accident, even if your injuries appear to be minor;
Obtain details of any other vehicles and drivers involved in the accident, as well as any witnesses;
Inform the police as soon as possible about the accident;
If you wish to bring a claim, notify the insurer of an intention to claim; and
Lodge a Claim within the appropriate time frame and limitation period applicable to the circumstances of your claim.
