Hurt in a Car Accident on Work Time? You May Be Entitled to TWO Separate Compensation Claims
If you have been injured in a motor vehicle accident while driving or travelling for work, you may be standing at the intersection of two separate compensation schemes — each providing different but complementary benefits. Under NSW law, workers injured in vehicle accidents in the course of their employment are often entitled to claim under both the Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurance scheme and the workers compensation system. Understanding how both schemes work together can significantly increase the total compensation you receive.
