Motor Vehicle Accident Compensation in WA
WA’s compulsory third-party (CTP) insurance scheme for road accident injuries operates under the Motor Vehicle (Third Party Insurance) Act 1943 (WA) and is administered by the Insurance Commission of Western Australia (ICWA). Unlike NSW, WA operates a fault-based CTP system — meaning you generally need to establish that another driver was at fault to claim compensation beyond the statutory no-fault scheme.
If the at-fault driver is uninsured or unidentified, the Motor Vehicle (Third Party Insurance) Act 1943 (WA) provides a mechanism to claim directly against the Insurance Commission of WA. Our car accident lawyers Perth handle these complex claims regularly.
What Compensation Can You Claim After a Car Accident in WA?
- Medical and rehabilitation expenses — all reasonable treatment costs arising from your injuries
- Lost wages and future earning capacity — income you have lost and will lose in the future due to your injuries
- General damages — for pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life
- Domestic assistance — if your injuries require you to rely on others for care
- Out-of-pocket expenses — travel, medication, home modifications, and other injury-related costs
Perth roads — including the Mitchell Freeway, Kwinana Freeway, Great Eastern Highway, and Tonkin Highway — see significant accident volumes. Our team has extensive experience with WA road accident claims across all types of collisions, from rear-end impacts to head-on collisions and pedestrian accidents.
How to Make a WA CTP Claim After a Car Accident
1. Seek immediate medical treatment and keep all records. 2. Report the accident to WA Police if required (injuries, uninsured driver, or disputes about fault). 3. Obtain the third-party details of the at-fault driver, including their CTP insurer details. 4. Contact our car accident lawyers Perth immediately — WA limitation periods under the Limitation Act 2005 (WA) are strict. 5. We assess fault, gather evidence, and lodge your claim with the Insurance Commission of WA or the relevant insurer.
