Frequently Asked Questions

How much compensation can I claim from a car accident in Western Australia ?

The amount of compensation you can claim varies, because it is not the same amount for every claim. It depends on the extent of your injuries, loss, treatment you require and pain and suffering you have suffered as a result. There are four different entitlements, loss of income, treatment expenses, domestic care and pain and suffering. For pain and suffering compensation the maximum amount payable as at 1 July 2020 is $432,000. To claim pain and suffering compensation, the total general damages for other losses such as loss of income, treatment expenses, domestic care has to be more than $22,500. Factors such as your age, your pre-injury working capacity, intention and health also has an impact to the amount of compensation you can claim. To be eligible to claim you need to be found not mostly at fault. If the fault of the accident is not clear or if the driver at fault denies it was their fault, witness statements from eyewitnesses and police reports will be required to assist all parties in determining who was wholly or mostly at fault.

What do general damages mean in a car accident claim?

General damages is the compensation for loss of income, treatment expenses and domestic care. It is damages other than damages for pain and suffering compensation. It includes loss of income, loss of opportunity, treatment expenses and domestic care. Our car accident lawyers will be able to advise you on your entitlements to general damages and advise you on the best way to claim them for your claim. Our car accident lawyers operate on a No Win No Fee Policy.*

How long will it take to resolve my car accident claim?

The resolution time for your motor vehicle accident claim may vary depending on many factors. Whilst we appreciate you want to resolve your claim as soon as possible, at the same time you do not want to resolve your claim without ensuring all losses and consequences, both past and future are taken into account. Each car accident has its own impacts on everyone differently and depending on the circumstances, the time it takes to resolve your claim varies. For example, if you need to have surgery our car accident lawyers would advise against resolving your claim until after the surgery to ensure its costs, consequences (if any) and impact are all taken into account in your claim. Other factors such as expectations also has an impact as to when your claim will resolve. For example, However, it usually takes an average of 1.5 years for our car accident lawyers to resolve claims for our clients who have not had surgery.

Do I need to be injured to make a car accident claim?

Yes, you need to be injured to make a car accident claim. Also, your injury in a car accident does not always mean you can claim compensation for personal injury or death. You need to prove that the accident was caused, in whole or in part, by the fault of the driver or owner of the motor vehicle involved.
It is important you understand that you have 3 years from the date of the accident to commence court proceedings, if necessary.

Can I still claim compensation if the car accident was partly my fault?

Yes, but the amount of compensation may be reduced depending on specific circumstances relating to how you were partly at fault.

What is a catastrophic injury?

Catastrophic injuries include spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, multiple amputations, severe burns, permanent traumatic blindness.

What’s the best thing I can do for my car accident claim?

First of all, if you have been injured in an accident and want to claim compensation you are required to report the accident and injury via the ICWA’s Online Crash Reporting Facility. You will then be provided with a reference number you can use to claim treatment and travel expenses. Our car accident lawyers are senior lawyers who take pride in representing injured clients by collecting evidence in support of our client claims, liaising with doctors, third parties and the ICWA to achieve the best result for our clients in claiming compensation.

Whilst our lawyers will act in your best interests and are able to break down the law for you in language that you can understand, you need to be upfront and explain your circumstances to our car accident lawyers. Our car accident lawyers advise about what you need to do after the accident will be dependent on the information you provide and as such it is important you provide correct information. That will ensure the best advice that is in the best of your interests for your claim.
