A more personal approach to your truck accident injury claim.

Truck drivers and passengers injured in accidents in NSW can claim compensation through the CTP insurance scheme. If you were working when you were injured, our truck accident lawyers will also help you make any additional claims you’re entitled to, including lump sum claims.

We’ve helped thousands of injured truck drivers get compensation, 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 truck accident lawyer, tell your side of the story, and uncover all your entitlements.

We’ll get you more compensation.

Getting injured in a truck accident often means 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 truck accident lawyer on your side.

What truck accident compensation can I claim?

All injured motorists who need time off work or treatment can claim personal injury benefits. But truck drivers may also be able to claim lump sum payments such as:

Lost wages

A lump sum for past and future lost wages under the CTP scheme.

Pain and suffering

A lump sum for pain and suffering under the CTP scheme.

Permanent impairment

A lump sum for permanent impairment under the workers compensation scheme.

Employer negligence

A lump sum for damages if your employer caused your accident through negligence.

Third party negligence

A lump sum for damages if a third party caused your accident through negligence.

Total Permanent Disability (TPD)

A lump sum for TPD if you’re unable to return to work because of your injuries.

If you’ve been injured in a truck accident, it’s important to get legal advice to make sure you receive your full compensation entitlements. You can call 13 15 15 for free advice from a truck injury lawyer.


How we can help you.

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

personal relationship icon

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.

Magnifying glass over medical forms. Failure to warn/inform icon

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.

Unsure if eligible icon

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.


Frequently asked questions.

If you were working when you were injured, you may need to lodge two or more claims to get all the compensation you’re entitled to.

To lodge your CTP claim:

  1. 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 have 28 days after the date of the accident to lodge this application to get back-payment for any lost wages.
  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.

To lodge your workers compensation claim:

  1. First, you should report your injury to your employer.
  1. You’ll need to provide a certificate of capacity from your doctor.
  1. Your employer has 48 hours to report your injury to their workers compensation insurer.
  1. You can also report it directly to the insurer if you like.
  1. The insurer will contact you to arrange an assessment of your injuries and then notify you whether it’s accepting liability for your claim.
  1. It’s important to note that you don’t have to agree with the insurer’s decision, and you should seek legal advice if you have any concerns about it.

It’s strongly advised to get advice from a truck injury lawyer before you lodge your claim to make sure you’ve done it correctly and you get your full entitlement.

You can lodge your own compensation claims without using a lawyer. However, truck accident claims can be particularly complex, and it’s important to understand that if you leave out important details in your applications, or if your certificate of fitness isn’t completed correctly, it’s likely you’ll miss out on benefits you’re entitled to. Our truck accident injury lawyers can advise you on how to make sure you claim everything you’re entitled to, and we’ll provide free advice over the phone.

For example, we can provide advice on whether you’re entitled to a lump sum for Work Injury Damages, or a TPD payout through your super fund.

We work on a no win no fee, no disbursements basis, so you’ll only need to pay our fees if we win, and you receive your truck accident compensation.

It may also be possible to get your legal fees paid by the insurer:

  • For CTP claims, the insurer will pay part of your legal fees for successful claims over $75,000, and all your legal fees for claims of $75,000 or below.
  • For workers compensation claims, we can apply to the IRO for funding on your behalf to cover our fees, so there’s nothing for you to pay.

If you’re applying to the CTP insurer for a lump sum, there’s a schedule of regulated fees a lawyer can be paid to assist you for claims up to $75,000.

  • These fees are paid by the insurer.
  • If your settlement amount is greater than $75,000, the insurer will contribute to your fees. We’ll provide you with a schedule of these fees, set out in an agreement.
  • This agreement is known as a “costs agreement”, and only applies to the amount we charge for your claim over the $75,000 threshold.
  • The regulated fees still apply to the work we do for the first $75,000 of your claim and are still paid by the insurer.
