I write to compliment Helen Voss to you.
I telephone Gajic Lawyers today at about 2.30pm regarding a personal injury claim that I currently have in the ACT Supreme Court against Qantas. (I was dumped by the my lawyers last week. See attached).
Helen picked up the call even though she works in a different area of the law.
Helen was an absolute delight to deal with and could not have been more helpful, caring and understanding. Just a lovely lady.
She took some of my details and checked with your solicitors, then telephoned me back within just a few minutes. She actually felt bad for me given that Gajic Lawyers were not able to take on my matter!
What an asset Helen is to your team.
Kind Regards
Ross Kennedy”

We Accelerate Your Compensation Claim
Having literally secured compensation for thousands of people across Australia, we know how to optimise compensation claims and achieve fast results.
Been in a car accident in Western Australia? You may be entitled to compensation — even if you weren’t seriously injured. Understanding how to make a car accident claim in WA is the first step to recovering what you’re owed.
WA operates a fault-based compulsory third party (CTP) insurance scheme managed by the Insurance Commission of Western Australia (ICWA). Unlike NSW’s no-fault scheme, in WA you must prove the other driver was at fault to make a claim.
Depending on the severity of your injuries, you may be eligible to claim under one or more of the following pathways:
If you can establish fault, you may claim for:
The standard limitation period is 3 years from the date of the accident. If you were under 18, the 3-year period starts on your 18th birthday. Don’t assume it’s too late — contact Gajic Lawyers for advice on your specific situation.
Gajic Lawyers handles WA car accident claims on a No Win No Fee basis. Our team manages every step — from initial assessment and evidence gathering through to ICWA negotiations and, if necessary, court proceedings. You pay nothing unless we win.
We serve clients across Perth and all of regional WA. Contact us for a free consultation today.
If you’ve been injured in a car accident in WA, talk to Gajic Lawyers before approaching ICWA. Free consultation. No Win No Fee. Call 1800 318 002.

ICWA administers claims involving unregistered or unidentified vehicles in certain circumstances. If the at-fault driver was uninsured, you may still have options. Gajic Lawyers can advise you on your specific situation — call 1800 318 002 for a free consultation.
Yes. Passengers can claim against the at-fault driver’s CTP insurer — even if the driver was a friend or family member. Because you weren’t driving, fault is rarely an issue, which typically makes passenger claims more straightforward and can lead to better outcomes.
Simple claims with clear liability and injuries can resolve in 6–12 months. More complex claims involving significant injuries, disputed liability, or ongoing treatment can take 18 months to 3 years. Gajic Lawyers will keep you updated throughout and aim to resolve your claim as efficiently as possible.
Our professional fees are only payable if we win. Out-of-pocket disbursements (such as medical reports and expert fees) may still apply and are always explained upfront. We never surprise you with hidden costs. In rare cases where a matter goes to court and is unsuccessful, adverse cost orders may apply — we will always advise you of this risk before proceeding.
The majority of WA car accident claims are resolved through negotiation with ICWA without going to court. If a fair settlement cannot be reached, Gajic Lawyers will not hesitate to take your case to the District Court of WA to fight for the compensation you deserve.
You may still have a valid claim if it is within the 3-year limitation period from the date of the accident. Contact Gajic Lawyers as soon as possible for advice on your specific situation — don’t assume it’s too late without getting legal advice.
Call 000 if anyone is injured. Exchange details with all drivers involved — name, address, phone number, vehicle registration, and the name of their third party insurer. Report the accident to WA Police if there are injuries or significant damage. See a doctor as soon as possible, even if your injuries seem minor — early medical records are essential evidence. Do not admit fault at the scene. Then contact a Perth car accident lawyer before speaking to ICWA or making any formal statements — what you say early in the process can significantly affect your claim.
Western Australia operates a fault-based third party insurance scheme under the Motor Vehicle (Third Party Insurance) Act 1943. The Insurance Commission of WA (ICWA) handles all third party claims. To access compensation for pain and suffering and economic losses, you must prove the other driver was at fault (or partially at fault). If you are successful, you may be entitled to damages for past and future medical expenses, past and future loss of income, pain and suffering, and the cost of care and assistance. ICWA is an experienced and well-resourced insurer — having a specialist Perth car accident lawyer on your side is strongly recommended.
In WA, successful claimants may be entitled to: general damages (pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life); past and future economic loss (lost wages and reduced earning capacity); past and future medical, hospital, and rehabilitation expenses; the cost of care and assistance provided by family members or paid carers; and out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred. The value of your claim depends on the nature of your injuries, their long-term impact, and your pre-accident income and lifestyle.
In Western Australia, you must notify ICWA of your intention to make a claim as soon as practicable — and in most cases within one year of the accident. Court proceedings must generally be commenced within three years of the date of the accident. Missing these deadlines can permanently extinguish your right to claim, so it is essential to seek legal advice promptly after a motor vehicle accident in WA.
In WA, contributory negligence applies — if you were partly at fault for the accident, your compensation will be reduced by the percentage of your contributory fault. For example, if you were found to be 20% at fault and your total damages were assessed at $100,000, you would receive $80,000. Our Perth car accident lawyers will work to minimise any finding of contributory negligence against you and ensure the fault allocation is fair.
In WA, if you are injured by an uninsured driver, an unregistered vehicle, or in a hit-and-run accident where the at-fault vehicle cannot be identified, you may still be entitled to compensation through ICWA’s nominal defendant scheme. Claims involving unidentified vehicles must generally be reported to police within 14 days of the accident. Contact Gajic Lawyers to ensure your rights are protected regardless of the circumstances of your accident.
