No Win No Fee Accident Lawyers for Ellenbrook Residents injured on WA Roads
Personal injury compensation may be available if a road accident has left you hurt, whether you were driving, riding a motorcycle or bicycle, travelling as a passenger or walking. These claims are commonly described as ICWA or CTP claims because they are made against the Insurance Commission of Western Australia (ICWA), which operates the state’s Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurance.
For people in Ellenbrook, MPK Lawyers offers advice and representation on car accident injury claims. A crash on a busy highway and one on a quiet local street are both worth raising with us, and we will explain where you stand.
Professional fees on eligible claims are deferred under our No Win No Fee commitment, meaning nothing is payable until the claim is resolved.
About Our Motor Vehicle Accident Lawyers Ellenbrook
We aim to set out what pursuing a claim with ICWA is likely to involve, without overstating anything. Where an answer hinges on a medical opinion or an insurer’s decision, we will tell you that openly. If you live or work in Perth and have been injured in a car accident, our experienced Motor Vehicle Accident Lawyers Perth team can help you understand your rights and guide you through the compensation claim process.
Ellenbrook residents should feel free to ask us anything, big or small.
Documents do not need to be in order when you first call. Letters, receipts, photographs and notes can all be brought as they are, and we will sort the relevant from the irrelevant. People who find travel hard can speak to us by phone or remotely.
We write down what you tell us and keep it on file, which spares you from retelling it each time. If something changes, such as your address or your doctor, tell us and we will amend the file promptly.
Do I Have a Car Accident Claim in Ellenbrook?
Who caused a crash is not always obvious, and responsibility is sometimes shared between drivers. Neither situation should put you off asking about a car accident claim in Ellenbrook. A claim may still be possible where you were partly to blame (contributory negligence), and facts that seem unimportant early on may later prove relevant. Speaking with us now can show how they bear on your car accident compensation claim.
Questions worth considering before you call:
- Who else was part of the crash, and do you have a way of contacting them?
- Which GP, specialist or other health provider has looked after your injuries?
- Has any letter or call reached you from ICWA, an insurer or another party?
- Have your injuries kept you from work or cut into your income?
A gap in your information is not a reason to wait. Share whatever you have, and we will work through which missing details matter and how to obtain them.

Step by Step: Planning Your Finances While You Recover
Lost working time and unplanned expenses can weigh heavily after a road injury. These are broad suggestions only, since what is feasible depends on your own position.
- Put your regular costs and approaching bills into a list.
- Look into your sick leave, annual leave and income protection options.
- Save payslips, bank records and anything showing earnings you have lost, as these support an economic loss claim.
- Ask us what other assistance may be worth looking into as your compensation claim moves along.

Frequently Asked Questions – Accident claims in Ellenbrook
People in Ellenbrook often ask us the questions below when considering a car accident claim. The answers are general, so please get in touch if your own situation is different.
The two terms usually describe the same thing. In Western Australia, a motor vehicle injury claim is made against the Insurance Commission of Western Australia (ICWA), the state's Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurer, which is why people use both names.
Yes. Court proceedings generally must be commenced within three years of the accident, and shorter notice requirements may also apply. Because the position can vary, it is sensible to obtain advice early.
No two claims are alike. Compensation can cover medical and treatment expenses, lost income and pain and suffering, but the figure depends on your injuries, the medical evidence and your circumstances. We will give you a realistic assessment instead of an estimate with no basis.
For eligible claims under our No Win No Fee commitment, you pay nothing for professional fees until the claim is resolved. A cost agreement will be provided after we have discussed costs, so you can review the terms before signing.
Payslips, bank statements and records of lost wages are the most useful starting points, as they help evidence an economic loss claim. Keep everything in one place and bring it to us, and we will advise what is relevant.
Take care before accepting any private settlement. Write down exactly what was said, and speak with us first, because early offers can undervalue a claim. This applies equally to settlement offers made by ICWA.
Yes. Phone and remote appointments are available for people who find travel difficult, and you can book a free claim assessment to discuss your situation.
