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.

Injured claimants do not pay for our costs upfront for their motor vehicle accident claim. Our firm deducts its costs and disbursements from our injured claimants settlement monies when they successfully receive compensation. Prior to acting our firm provides our injured claimants with a cost agreement and disclosure which outlines our estimated costs. If our injured claimant do not receive any compensation then we will not charge our clients any of our costs and disbursements. If our injured claimants lose their matter in court then they would be liable for the legal costs and disbarments of the lawyers of the ICWA. Prior to commencing proceedings we advise our injured claimants whether or not they have reasonable prospects of success and the risks and costs which could arise if they lose in court.
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.*
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.
Injured claimants do not have to commence court proceedings to make a car accident claim. Usually claims are resolved between the ICWA and the injured claimant and/or their lawyer. Most claims do not proceed to trial as they settle beforehand.
In most cases, injured claimants in Western Australia have 3 years to commence court proceedings from the date of the motor vehicle accident. There are exceptions that apply to minors and other situations. You could find out this information by contacting our firm for a free initial consultation.
