How does the motor vehicle injury claim process work?

The circumstances of each road accident injury and motor vehicle injury claim are different. No matter where your motor vehicle injury claim is at in the process, your trusted, local motor vehicle accident lawyers may be able to help: 

 1. Complete an online crash report or notify the ICWA of road accident injury 

• Road accident injury claims are made to the Insurance Commission of Western Australia (ICWA). 

• Drivers / vehicle owners complete an online crash report. 

• Passengers or pedestrians notify the ICWA of their road accident injury. 

2. Seek medical help for your road accident injury 

• See your GP or other medical specialist (or you may be transported to hospital because of your road accident injury) 

• Keep all written records of your medical treatment 

3. Lodge a Notice of Intention to Claim (for road accident injury) 

• This is to notify the ICWA that you have been involved in a motor vehicle accident and you have suffered a road accident injury requiring medical treatment 

4. Additional information, continued medical treatment or rehabilitation 

• As your claim progresses, your experienced motor vehicle accident lawyer will keep you updated and gather any information to support your car accident compensation claim (this could include medical records or evidence of lost income due to your road accident injury) 

• You continue to receive required medical treatment or rehabilitation for your road accident injury 

5. Finalisation or settlement of your motor vehicle injury claim
