Types of benefits
Loss of income
​
If you are unable to work due to your accident, the CTP insurer is obligated to provide compensation for time off work, helping you manage your finances while you recover. If you suffer a serious injury, you may be able to make a lump sum claim future loss of income, too.

Medical expenses
​
The CTP scheme covers all reasonable and necessary medical and treatment costs, including doctors, therapy, hospital stays, rehabilitation, and medical imaging ensuring you receive the treatment you need.
​
Domestic care and assistance
​
If you require assistance with daily activities, such as household chores, the CTP insurer may cover the cost of personal and domestic care, such as home help or nursing support.
​
Pain and suffering
​
If you have sustained a severe injury and are not at-fault for the accident, you may be eligible for compensation for non-economic loss, recognising the emotional and physical impact the accident has had on your life.
