No Win No Fee Accident Lawyers for Butler Residents injured on WA Roads
If a road accident has changed your health, your work or your plans, it is reasonable to ask whether you can claim personal injury compensation. Drivers, passengers, motorcyclists, cyclists and pedestrians may all be eligible.
Claims for injuries in motor vehicle accidents in Western Australia are made against the Insurance Commission of Western Australia (ICWA). ICWA is the state’s Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurer, so these are often called ICWA claims or CTP claims.
MPK Lawyers advises and represents Butler residents with car accident injury claims. We will review your circumstances and explain where you stand, on any kind of road.
For eligible claims, you do not pay professional fees until your claim is resolved. That is what our No Win No Fee commitment means in practice.
About Our Motor Vehicle Accident Lawyers Butler
Our advice is practical and realistic. Some questions can only be answered once there are medical opinions or an insurer’s decision, and we will tell you when that is the case.

You can contact us with nothing prepared. Whatever letters, receipts, photographs or handwritten notes you have will be useful as they are, and together we will pick out what counts. When travelling is a problem, a telephone or video appointment can be arranged in its place.
One file holds all that you tell us, so there is no need to explain your circumstances again with each conversation. If you move, change phone number or see a different doctor, a quick message to us keeps your details accurate.
Do I Have a Car Accident Claim in Butler?
Fault is not always clear after a crash, and it may be shared between those involved. That is not a reason to put off asking about a car accident claim in Butler. Sharing some of the blame (contributory negligence) may not prevent a claim, and small details can matter. We can show you how these points may affect your car accident compensation claim.
Questions worth considering before you call:
- Who else was involved in the crash, and can you reach them?
- Which doctor or health provider has looked after your injuries so far?
- Has ICWA, an insurer or another party contacted you since the accident?
- Have your injuries affected your income or your ability to work?
A few unanswered questions are normal. Tell us what you know, and we will explain which gaps are important and how to fill them.
When to Speak with an Accident Claims Lawyer in Butler
Some situations come with details that are easier to record early. The examples below are ones clients tend to ask about, and we can go through any that apply.
Your accident involved multiple vehicles Write down the sequence of vehicles and each driver’s contact details. | A truck or commercial vehicle was involved Note company name, markings and plate, as an employer may be involved. |
The car was hired or borrowed Keep the owner’s details and any hire or insurance paperwork on hand. | An insurer asked you to see a doctor Speak with us before you go, then record what happened. |
Someone offered you payment directly Record the offer in full; accepting early can undervalue your claim. | It happened on a main road or freeway Make a note of the road, your direction, and a landmark nearby. |
Step by Step: Planning Your Finances While You Recover
Recovery from a road injury can bring time off work and extra costs. Treat these steps as general guidance, because your own circumstances will decide what is possible.
- Write down what you spend regularly and the bills coming up.
- See if you have sick leave, annual leave or income protection to draw on.
- Keep your payslips and bank statements, plus any record of lost wages or income, because they help support an economic loss claim.
- Ask us about other help worth considering as your claim moves along.

Frequently Asked Questions – Accident claims in Butler
Butler residents often ask about time limits, fault, compensation, records and settlement offers. The answers below are general guidance only, so please contact us directly to discuss your own circumstances.
A time limit applies to CTP claims in Western Australia. In general, court proceedings must be commenced within three years of the accident, and shorter notice requirements can also apply, so it is wise to ask for advice early.
Usually, yes. Motor vehicle injury claims in Western Australia are made against ICWA, the state's CTP insurer, so people use both names for the same type of claim.
Possibly. Sharing some responsibility is called contributory negligence, and it does not automatically prevent a claim. How it applies depends on the facts, so it is worth talking through what happened with us.
A claim can include medical and treatment expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering. The amount depends on your injuries, the medical evidence and your circumstances, and we will give you a realistic assessment.
Keep letters, receipts, photographs and notes, along with payslips and bank statements if you have lost income. Write down details of the road, who was involved, and any offers you receive, and bring everything to us.
Speak to us before you decide or attend. If you do go to an ICWA-arranged medical assessment, keep notes afterwards about what happened and what was discussed.
Not without advice. Early offers can undervalue a claim, so get legal advice before accepting a settlement offer from ICWA or signing anything that affects your rights. Contact MPK Lawyers for a free claim assessment.
