What is a Motor Vehicle Accident (MVA) Claim in Western Australia?
In Western Australia, motor vehicle injury claims are made under the Motor Vehicle (Third Party Insurance) Act 1943 (WA).
The system provides compensation to people injured due to another driver’s negligence, or in some cases, through the Catastrophic Injuries Support Scheme if you’re seriously injured, regardless of fault.
The CTP Scheme covers a broad range of motor vehicle incidents including:
- Car crashes
- Motorcycle accidents
- Bicycle or scooter accidents
- Pedestrian injuries
- Truck and bus collisions
Our Perth compensation team can help you identify which scheme applies to your circumstances and ensure your claim is lodged correctly.
Who can make a claim in WA?
You may have a valid claim if you were:
- The driver or passenger of a car, motorcycle, truck or bus
- A cyclist or pedestrian hit by a vehicle
- A passenger in a rideshare, taxi or public transport vehicle
- The dependent of someone fatally injured in a crash
Even if you were partly at fault, or injured by an unidentified driver, you may still have access to benefits under the ICWA CTP Scheme.
What compensation can you claim?
Depending on your injuries, you may be entitled to:
- Medical and rehabilitation expenses – physiotherapy, surgery, medication, counselling and more
- Lost income – wages lost during recovery
- Loss of future earning capacity if your injuries impact your ability to work
- Pain and suffering compensation (for serious injuries)
- Care and home assistance costs – paid or unpaid support
- Travel and treatment-related expenses
Our Perth car accident lawyers will work to ensure you receive the full compensation you deserve under Western Australian law.
How to make a motor vehicle accident claim in WA
- Report the accident to police (if required) and get medical attention as soon as possible.

- Lodge a Notice of Intention to Make a Claim with the Insurance Commission of Western Australia (ICWA).
