If you’ve been knocked off your bike, chances are it wasn’t your fault. Most cycling accidents are caused by drivers failing to give way, dooring, rear-ending cyclists or driving recklessly.

We’ve helped many injured cyclists get compensation for their injuries, but we understand your situation is unique, and you’re different from every one of them. Getting you more compensation starts with building a personal relationship with you, to truly understand your situation.

There’s no cost to speak to a NSW bicycle accident lawyer, tell your side of the story, and find out how much compensation you can claim.

Our bicycle accident lawyers will get you more compensation.

Bicycle accident injuries often mean time off work, unplanned expenses, and financial stress. But we’re here to help. We get to know you and your family to learn about your life before you were injured. We look beyond your injuries, to understand your work, family, social and financial situation. Then we look at what’s changed. Many of our clients’ injuries have led to other life complications and health issues. By getting to know you personally we identify these issues and claim all your entitlements. That’s why you’ll get more compensation with a Law Partners bicycle accident lawyer on your side.

What bicycle accidents can I claim for in NSW?

No matter how you’ve been injured on your bike, you can call Law Partners for free advice on your compensation entitlements.

Drivers failing to give way.

Usually where a driver pulls out from an intersection into the cyclist’s path or hits the cyclist side-on.

A car speeding past you or passing too close, causing you to crash.

Close passes are all too common, and since they often happen at speed they can have serious consequences.

Being hit from behind.

These accidents can result in serious injuries, especially where the cyclist is hit at speed.

Having a car door opened on you as you ride by (“dooring”).

This is a common scenario for cyclists, and injuries can be significant.

What types of compensation can I claim for a bicycle accident injury in NSW?

Bicycle accident injuries are often classified as above threshold, which means your benefits could extend to 24 months and beyond, and you might be entitled to significant lump sums.

Bicycle accident entitlements:
1. Threshold injuries
  • Income support, medical and home care expenses for up to 12 months.*
2. Above threshold injuries
  • Income support, medical and home care expenses that can extend beyond 24 months if there is a claim for damages.
  • A lump sum for past and future lost income.
3. Above threshold injury over 10% permanent impairment
  • An additional lump sum for pain and suffering.

It’s vital that your injuries and their impact on your life are thoroughly assessed, and that’s where the right bike accident lawyer makes a big difference. We win over 99% of our cases and pride ourselves in winning more compensation.

*Note: if you were at fault and your accident happened prior to 1 April 2023, your income support, medical, and home care expenses will be limited to six months.

How our bicycle accident lawyers can help you. 

Here are three ways our bicycle accident lawyers can get more compensation for you:

Give you free advice before you submit your claim. It’s critical that your application is filled out correctly, and that your injuries are properly assessed by your GP on your certificate of fitness.

Help you if you disagree with the assessment on the insurer’s liability notice. If the insurer has classified your injuries as threshold (minor) injuries, but you disagree with the decision, we can review it for you and provide free legal advice on your options.

Help you claim a lump sum settlement. If your injuries are above threshold and you weren’t at fault in the accident, it’s very likely you can claim a lump sum settlement, and these lump sums can be substantial.

NSW bicycle accident injury compensation FAQs.

If you’ve been knocked off your bike in a hit and run accident in NSW, where the driver failed to stop and can’t be traced, you may still be able to make a claim for bike accident compensation. The NSW CTP scheme allows you to apply for compensation from the ‘Nominal Defendant’ where the at-fault vehicle can’t be identified.

The NSW CTP scheme covers injuries only and doesn’t cover property damage. To claim for damage to your bike, unless you have bike insurance or it’s covered by your home contents insurance, you’ll need to claim directly from the at-fault driver. The first step is to get a quote for the repair or replacement of your bike, then send a letter of demand to the at-fault driver.

If the at-fault driver refuses to pay, you can make a claim against them in the local court. Most cases involving damage to bikes will be handled by the small claims division of your local court.

You’ll need a police event number – you can get this by calling 131 444 or going to a police station.

  1. Obtain a certificate of fitness from your doctor.
  1. Lodge an application for personal injury benefits on the CTP insurer of the vehicle mostly at fault for the accident.
  1. You should make your bike injury claim within 28 days to be eligible for income loss from the date of the accident.
  1. The final deadline for lodging your CTP claim is three months from the date of the accident.
  1. Note that this application doesn’t cover any lump sum payments you might be entitled to – you need to apply for these separately.

Your benefits will be largely based on your medical assessment in your certificate of fitness, which determines whether your injuries are classified as threshold (minor) or above threshold. This is the most critical part of your application. It’s strongly advised to get advice from a bicycle injury lawyer before you lodge your claim to make sure you’ve done it correctly and you don’t miss out on benefits you’re entitled to.

According to SIRA (the State Insurance Regulatory Authority), in 2025, there were 15,053 motor accident injury claims reported in NSW, and $1.78 billion was paid out in benefits and lump sums. That’s $118k paid out for every new claim reported.*

The amount of bike accident compensation that you can claim depends on the extent of your injuries, which will be classified as ‘threshold’ (minor) or ‘above threshold’. The following table outlines the difference:

Physical Injury Classification Examples
Threshold (soft tissue injuries)
  • Muscle strain without tears
  • Sore back
  • Whiplash
Above threshold (fractures, organ damage)
  • Broken arm
  • Head or brain injury
  • Injuries that require surgery

It’s important to remember that compensation after a bike accident also depends on the extent of your losses (such as lost income). Here’s a summary of bike accident compensation entitlements:

Category Entitlements
Threshold injury
  • Income support, medical and home care expenses for up to 12 months**
Above threshold injury
  • Income support, medical and home care expenses that can extend beyond 24 months if there is a claim for damages
  • A lump sum for past and future lost income
Above threshold injury over 10% permanent impairment
  • An additional lump sum for pain and suffering

*Based on SIRA Open Data, updated February 2026.

**Note: if you were at fault and your accident happened prior to 1 April 2023, your income support, medical, and home care expenses will be limited to six months.

I lodged a complaint about bullying in the workplace. 78 pages of incidents I recorded, was deemed no evidence of bullying after investigations by the Insurance company. What a blessing for me to find Bianca Azzopardi to appeal the decision. Her professionalism, her fight for justice for me. With her help, the case is won. I sustained personal injury as a result of bullying and at the Personal Injury Tribunal, my ex employer is deemed the party that is wrong and the Tribunal ordered them to pay for compensation.

It was a very stressful time for me, and Bianca handled my case very professional and in the best of my interest . I can communicate with her any time. She replied promptly. She gives clear instructions.
During that very ‘dark’ time, when my ex-employer and the Insurance Company for Worker’s Comp denied bullying, I cannot describe to you how it feels hearing Bianca’s caring and reassuring voice, to send her my file of complaint and she will look after me.

Thank you Bianca, thank you for walking this journey with me.
I highly recommend Bianca.

I would like to give a huge sincere thank you to Chantille and her team who helped me with probably the most difficult period of my life, Chantille was caring, honest, thoughtful, understanding and listened to me without judgment and importantly was supportive, I was updated every step of the way and informed of all the proceedings, time frames and possible outcomes.

Chantille was professional and made me feel comfortable at all times, she is caring and worked diligently with me to achieve the best possible outcome, I couldn’t be more pleased with the result. Every person I came in contact with was genuine and eager to assist in every way possible from the receptionists all the way up, absolutely wonderful people.

Thank you all for being there in my time of need and thank for laughing at my jokes bless you all.

I was in a bad MVA more than two years ago (it was even in the news a few times). Now I can compare Law Partners’ service philosophy to the first law firm that took over my case (which, thank God, I changed), and there is a significant difference: Tanja Maksimovic, Alexander Le Hoang, and Jessica Terre have been realistic, clear, empathetic, communicative, and honest from the beginning… everything you need when you don’t understand legal processes in a different country, with English as a second language, and not even being Australian! The worst setting for feeling vulnerable and lost after the worst experience of your life. I understand that this case will take some time, but I can perceive the team working, progressing, and fighting for me. They keep me updated, I feel legally supported, and I actually look forwards to Alexander’s phone calls… he’s very friendly!
