A claim for personal injury compensation must be made by providing written notice to the CTP insurer against which the action is being brought within nine months of the accident (or the first symptom of your injury if not immediately apparent); or within one month of consulting a lawyer about your claim – whichever comes first.
If you are lodging your claim with the Nominal Defendant because the at fault vehicle was unidentified or unregistered, then you only have three months.
