Injured as a Motorcyclist in a Motor Vehicle Accident
Telehealth support for motorcyclists injured in a motor vehicle accident who are dealing with a CTP claim in NSW.
Overview
This covers people injured while riding a motorcycle or scooter in a road accident, whether involving another vehicle or a single-vehicle crash. Motorcyclists have little physical protection and often sustain more severe injuries, including fractures and multiple injuries. The way the CTP scheme applies depends on the circumstances of the accident. We focus on assessing your injuries and supporting your claim with clear medical documentation.
Motorcyclists injured in a motor vehicle accident may be able to access the CTP scheme, and certain defined benefits may be available depending on the circumstances, including in some cases where the rider was at fault. Eligibility and any limits depend on the circumstances and the scheme, so it is important to check SIRA and lodge promptly. We do not provide legal advice; questions about fault and entitlements are best directed to SIRA or a solicitor.
Rules vary by circumstance and injury — confirm your situation with SIRA.
