Under New South Wales law, if you get injured in a vehicle accident, you may receive certain benefits even if you are responsible for the accident. Under New South Wales law, a person who sustains injuries in a motor vehicle accident can claim compensation by submitting an accident notification form or personal injury claim form. However, when claiming CTP benefits under an accident notification form, the question of who is at fault does not arise. In other words, even if the claimant is completely responsible for the accident, he may be able to receive certain benefits through this method. The benefits available under this form include reasonable and necessary medical expenses and payments for past loss of earning up to $ 5,000. When you complete the Accident notification form, it is necessary to have the registration number of the vehicle which caused the accident. In addition, you may also need to have a police event number as well. The Green Ship of the insurer of the vehicle which caused accident and a medical certificate completed by your doctor are also required when you make a claim under an accident notification form. After completing the form it should be sent to the insurer of the other vehicle within 28 days of the accident. Once the relevant insurer receives your notice, you will be informed within 10 days whether your claim is accepted or not. Even if the insurer accepts your claim, the priority will be given to the medical expenses and any payment which can be made with respect to loss of past earning within the first six month will be considered next. However, if you cannot identify the vehicle which caused the motor vehicle accident, for instance in a hit and run accident, you cannot claim benefits under the Accident Notification form. Instead, you will have to complete a personal injury claim form to obtain the benefits available under it. In addition, where your expenses are likely to exceed $5,000 or you wish to claim compensation for pain and suffering, you will need to make a full claim by submitting a personal injury claim form.
