AI-generated editorial image
Every state runs its own CTP or motor accident scheme, with different rules about who can claim, time limits and what can be recovered. Lawyers lodge the claim, gather evidence and negotiate with the insurer or scheme.
Why motor vehicle accidents / ctp matters
Road injuries can mean months off work and long-term care. The scheme you claim under determines what you can recover and how quickly.
The Australian context
Every state runs compulsory third party insurance differently: NSW and Victoria have hybrid no-fault schemes, Queensland is fault-based, and WA and SA have their own models. Notice periods are short, often a few months from the accident.

Understand the next step
A practical guide to motor vehicle accidents / ctp
What to discuss at the first meeting
Give the accident location, date and details of the vehicles and insurers. Explain whether you are seeking help with an injury claim or property damage, because the work can be different.
Ask about the applicable state scheme and notices before assuming another person’s experience applies to your claim.
How the engagement may progress
01
Provide a chronology, relevant locations and employer or insurer details, together with forms and decisions already received.
02
Discuss medical, employment, incident and expense records. Ask who will obtain reports and how access, privacy and expert costs will be managed.
03
Have any offer, assessment or release explained before agreeing. Clarify what a resolution would cover and whether related claims need separate advice.
Fees and the scope of work
Ask for the written meaning of no win, no fee, including expenses, any uplift and possible other costs. The phrase alone is not enough to compare arrangements.
Ask for a written scope identifying the work you are authorising, the person responsible and when costs will be reviewed. If you only want advice on one step, say so before the firm begins wider work.
Dates to raise at first contact
Ask early about notice, claim and review limits in the relevant scheme. Keep the incident date and every insurer decision available for assessment.
Questions to ask a motor vehicle accidents / ctp adviser
Which process applies to this accident?
Does the engagement cover injury, property damage or both?
Which scheme or policy are you assessing?
Who pays for reports and other evidence?
What could I pay if the claim does not succeed?
Directory guidance updated 19 September 2026. General information to help you prepare for a conversation with a professional; not advice about your individual matter. Check current requirements with the relevant authority.
Good to know
Frequently asked questions
Can I claim if the accident was partly my fault?
Often, yes, depending on the scheme. Compensation may be reduced for your share of responsibility.
What does no win, no fee mean?
You pay the lawyer's professional fees only if the claim succeeds. You may still be responsible for costs such as medical reports, and in some cases the other side's costs, so ask for a written costs agreement.
How long does a claim take?
Simple claims can settle within months. Claims involving serious injuries usually wait until your condition has stabilised so the full impact can be assessed, which can take a year or more.
