Understanding Car Accident Claims in Western Australia
In Western Australia, most motor vehicle injury claims are managed through the Insurance Commission of Western Australia (ICWA). Depending on the circumstances of the accident, injured people may be able to claim compensation for medical expenses, lost income and other losses connected to their injuries.
Many people are uncertain about whether they can make a claim, especially if fault is disputed or they were partly responsible for the accident. In some situations, you may still have rights to compensation, so it is important to obtain legal advice before making assumptions about your eligibility.
At Trewin Norman & Co, we can explain the process clearly and help you understand what steps to take next.
What Compensation Can You Claim?
A car accident injury can affect far more than just your immediate medical expenses. Depending on your circumstances, compensation may cover both your current and future needs. This can include:
- Medical and hospital expenses
- Physiotherapy and rehabilitation
- Loss of wages and income
- Future loss of earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Psychological injuries
- Ongoing treatment costs
- Care and assistance at home
- Travel expenses related to treatment
Every claim is different, and the amount of compensation available will depend on the severity of your injuries and how they impact your daily life.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I still make a claim if I was partly at fault?
In some cases, yes. Being partly responsible for an accident does not always prevent you from making a compensation claim.
How much compensation can I receive?
The amount will depend on factors such as your injuries, medical treatment, income loss and long-term recovery needs.
How long will my claim take?
Some claims can be resolved relatively quickly, while others may take longer depending on the complexity of the matter and the severity of the injuries involved.
Do I need a lawyer for an ICWA claim?
While it is possible to manage a claim yourself, legal advice can help ensure your rights are protected and your claim is properly assessed.
What if the other driver left the scene?
You may still be able to pursue compensation in certain circumstances. It is best to seek legal advice as soon as possible after the accident.
