THE NSW Government has introduced new legislation to outlaw ‘claim farming’ in motor crashes, protecting injured people from coercive tactics used to pressure them into lodging compensation claims. The Motor Accident Injuries Amendment (Claim Farming Practices Prohibition) Bill 2025 strengthens earlier reforms by adding two new offences to the Motor Accident Injuries Act 2017, each carrying $55,000 penalties. The changes ban unsolicited contact, safeguard vulnerable crash victims, and protect the integrity of the CTP Scheme.
