The claim process

Navigating the ACT motor accident claims process can be complex, but understanding each step can help you secure the compensation you deserve.

1. Immediate Steps Post-Accident

Immediately after an accident, ensure everyone’s safety and call emergency services if needed. It’s important to report the accident to the police, especially if there are injuries or significant property damage.

If police did not attend the accident, you should report the accident online or at a police station within 24 hours. Visit ACT Policing’s website for more information on how to report a motor accident.

Collect essential information such as the other driver’s details (name, address, license number, and insurance information), witness contacts, and take photographs of the accident scene and damages.

2. Seek Medical Attention

Obtain a thorough medical assessment as soon as possible, even if injuries seem minor. Accurate medical records are crucial for substantiating your claim.

Keep detailed records of all medical consultations, treatments, and expenses related to the accident.

3. Notifying the Insurer

Inform the relevant CTP insurer (the insurer of the at-fault vehicle) about the accident. This is done by completing the relevant claim forms, which should be lodged within 13 weeks of the accident.

4. Seek Legal Advice:

Navigating the CTP claims process can be challenging. Engaging a lawyer experienced in motor accident claims can provide invaluable assistance, ensuring all aspects of your claim are handled correctly and that you receive the maximum compensation possible.
