What is a CTP Claim?

What is a CTP claim and and how to lodge a CTP claim in Parramatta? CTP (Compulsory Third Party) Insurance is a compulsory insurance for all motor vehicle users in NSW (and Australia). CTP insurance provides financial and medical support if you or others have been injured due to a motor vehicle accident. This insurance helps cover the injured person’s medical costs, treatment, and other related expenses.

CTP claims can cover costs, including but not limited to:

CTP Insurance vs. Comprehensive Insurance

CTP claims and comprehensive insurance cover completely different things.

Mandatory: CTP insurance is compulsory in Australia. This can help you cover medical and financial costs for people injured in a motor vehicle accident. This does not provide any coverage for your vehicle and any other property.

Optional: Comprehensive insurance is completely optional for vehicle owners. If you have it, it covers your vehicle from damage, the other person’s vehicle and any other property which is damaged in a car accident. Other events covered by comprehensive insurance includes theft, weather events, fire, and other natural disasters. Medical costs are usually not covered in this insurance.

What is Whiplash and How Does It Feel

Whiplash is an injury to your muscles, tendons or other soft tissues of your neck and is categorised as an energy transfer mechanism of acceleration and deceleration into the neck.

Pain from a whiplash often occurs several hours after the initial injury whereby pain, stiffness, swelling and bruising increases over the subsequent days. See below symptoms to find out more about how it feels to have whiplash.

Injuries sustained from whiplash usually results in a bony, muscular or ligamentous dysfunction typically in the cervical joints of the neck.

These injuries can cause mild to severe headaches and migraines depending on the extent of the injury. Those with this injury may result in headaches and migraines on one side of the head in a focal point, or even both sides. Symptoms can spread down to the neck, shoulders, arms and upper back.

During severe injuries, those with whiplash injuries may experience NTS (neck tongue syndrome) – this is where a significant trauma has disturbed the upper 3 cervical vertebrae to the point of possible rupture to the ligaments and dislocation or instability of the vertebrae. Those with NTS will report numbness and a tingling sensation to one half of their tongue, pain in the neck and head region.

Risk factors of developing headaches following trauma to the head and/or neck

According to the International Headache Society, the following may contribute to the likelihood of developing headaches following trauma to the head and/or neck (such as from a whiplash injury).

• Previous history of headache
• Less severe injury to the head and/or neck
• Being female
• Presence of comorbid psychiatric disorders

How Do Whiplash (Motor Vehicle Accident) Injuries Cause Headaches?

Whiplash injuries can cause significant headaches and migraines. Due to the mechanism of a whiplash injury, the cervical spine is typically affected which results in a sensitised brainstem.

The brainstem, specifically the Trigemino-Cervical nucleus, receives signals from various areas of the head via the Trigeminal nerve, and the neck via the Cervical afferent nerves. Due to injury, this often causes, what is most easily explained as, confusion in the Trigemino-Cervical nucleus. This is interpreted as a “danger” to various areas of the head, and therefore causes pain in the head (usually accompanied by neck pain) in the form of a headache or migraine.

Around half of the patients who come to see us, report some form of neck injury in the past, which has precipitated their headaches and migraines. Most often, trauma to the neck such as whiplash injuries can induce many different forms of headaches and migraines such as:
