Seek Legal Advice from Our Personal Injury Lawyers
In NSW, it is compulsory for all registered vehicles to have third-party insurance. This means that any person injured as a result of a motor vehicle accident will be covered for their personal injury. We also help injured people in accidents where the vehicle at fault is unknown or unregistered.
There are strict time limits and procedural requirements that apply to making a third-party claim in New South Wales. PK Simpson’s car accident experts can help you navigate the process with ease to ensure that you obtain the best possible result.
At PK Simpson, our expert compensation lawyers are well-versed in cycling accident claims and have helped countless clients navigate this process to a successful conclusion, so contact us on 1300 757 467 today.
What Compensation Can You Claim After a Bicycle Accident?
When you’ve been injured in a bicycle accident in NSW, you may be entitled to claim compensation for:
- All medical and hospital treatment costs
- Rehabilitation and physiotherapy expenses
- Loss of income and earning capacity
- Pain and suffering damages
- Replacement or repair of your bicycle and cycling equipment
- Future medical care and support needs
- Home modification costs if you’ve suffered permanent disability
- Travel expenses to medical appointments
At PK Simpson, with over 45 years of experience in personal injury law, we ensure you claim every benefit and compensation payment you’re entitled to receive. Our team pays for all expert medical reports upfront, so you won’t face any out-of-pocket expenses during your claim. Contact us on 1300 757 467 to discuss your bicycle accident compensation claim.
The NSW CTP Scheme and Bicycle Accidents
Understanding how the NSW Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurance scheme applies to bicycle accidents is crucial for your claim. Since 1977, PK Simpson has helped injured cyclists navigate the complexities of CTP claims, including:
- Identifying the at-fault driver and their CTP insurer
- Handling claims where the driver is unknown or uninsured
- Meeting strict notification and claim lodgement timeframes
- Preparing comprehensive medical evidence to support your claim
- Negotiating with CTP insurers to secure maximum compensation
The NSW CTP scheme has undergone significant changes in recent years, and many law firms are still navigating the complexities of bicycle accident claims under the new laws. At PK Simpson, our specialists stay at the forefront of these legal developments to protect your interests. Call us on 1300 757 467 for expert guidance.
Two Simple Questions to Ask Yourself
- Were you involved in a bicycle accident that wasn’t your fault?
- Did you suffer an injury from the bike accident?
If you answered yes to both of these, then it is likely you will get compensation for your injuries. Contact PK Simpson’s experienced bicycle accident solicitors on 1300 757 467 for a free case assessment.
What to Do Immediately After a Bicycle Accident
If you’ve been involved in a bicycle accident, taking the right steps immediately can significantly strengthen your compensation claim. Our team at PK Simpson, with over 45 years of experience, recommends that you:
- Call emergency services if you or anyone else is injured
- Document the accident scene with photos if you’re able
- Collect driver details, vehicle registration, and witness contact information
- Report the accident to police, especially if there are injuries
- Seek medical attention immediately, even if injuries seem minor
- Keep records of all medical treatments, expenses, and time off work
- Do not admit fault or make statements to insurance companies without legal advice
- Contact PK Simpson on 1300 757 467 as soon as possible to protect your rights
Time limits apply to bicycle accident claims in NSW, so it’s crucial to seek legal advice promptly. Since 1977, we’ve helped injured cyclists take the right steps from day one to maximise their compensation.

Blameless Accidents Due to Sudden Failure or Illness
Traffic accidents can be considered “blameless,” meaning they were the result of a sudden illness or vehicle failure. Do not worry. Contact us on 1300 757 467, and we will set the wheels in motion for you.
We also specialise in late claims, i.e., when an injured person has not contacted a cycling accident lawyer within six months. We know how to build a strong case even when deadlines have passed. Don’t let time limits prevent you from seeking the compensation you deserve.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do you do after a car accident in Australia?
If you’ve had a traffic accident, stop your vehicle and turn on your hazard lights. Make sure nobody is injured, and if so, call emergency 000 and remain at the scene. If it’s minor, you don’t need to call the police but move the damaged cars if possible. Never admit responsibility, even if you think you were at fault. Collect details from other parties and witnesses, if possible.
How long does it take to make a motor vehicle accident compensation claim?
When lodging a claim for compensation after a motor vehicle accident, it’s best to do it as soon as possible. However, it isn’t always feasible if you were severely injured. There are time limits, so get someone to call a bike accident attorney at PK Simpson to lodge a claim within six months of the crash.
How long after a car accident can you claim in Australia?
When lodging a claim for compensation after a motor vehicle accident, it’s best to do it as soon as possible. However, it isn’t always feasible if you were severely injured and couldn’t file a claim straight away. There are time limits, however, so get someone to call a lawyer at PK Simpson for you to lodge a claim at least within six months of the crash.
How long do you have to make a personal injury claim?
The length of time you have to make your claim depends on the jurisdiction.
For instance:
- TPD claims – These may be commenced up to 10 years after you’ve stopped work. TPD claims are very technical, and you may have more than one.
- Car accident claims – A personal injury claim form should be sent to your CTP insurer as early as possible, but no later than six months from the accident date. However, out-of-time claims may be made. New NSW CTP laws have made it difficult for injured people, and many law firms still do not understand how to run new claims under these laws – so call us at PK Simpson Sydney as soon as possible.
- Workers compensation claims – You should contact a lawyer within six months of the accident. But remember, out-of-time claims can be handled by PK Simpson Sydney. We can help you get the treatment required to build your claim.
- Slip ‘n’ fall/occupiers liability claims – Your claim must usually be lodged within three years of the accident date.
- Medical negligence – Within three years of the date when the cause of action was discoverable to our client OR 12 years from the time of the act or omission which caused the injury through negligence.
