No Win No Fee Accident Lawyers for Forrestfield Residents injured on WA Roads
If you have been injured in a car accident, truck accident, motorcycle accident or bicycle accident, or hurt as a passenger, cyclist or pedestrian, you may be entitled to claim personal injury compensation. In Western Australia, motor vehicle accident claims (often called ICWA claims or CTP claims) are made against the Insurance Commission of Western Australia (ICWA), the state’s Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurer.
Our motor vehicle accident lawyers in Forrestfield provide legal advice and representation for car accident injury claims across Forrestfield. Whether your crash happened on a highway or a local street, we can explain where you stand.
You pay nothing for professional fees until your claim is resolved; that is our No Win No Fee commitment for eligible claims.
MPK Lawyers supports Canning Vale residents who have been hurt in car accidents by giving clear legal advice and acting on their behalf. Whatever the setting of the crash, be it a freeway or a local street, we can review what happened and explain your position.
For eligible claims, we work on a No Win No Fee basis, so professional fees fall due only once your claim has been resolved.

Do I Have a Car Accident Claim in Forrestfield?
Even where responsibility seems unclear or shared, it can still be worth asking about your position on a car accident claim in Forrestfield. A claim may be possible even if you were partly at fault (this is called contributory negligence). Facts that look minor at first sometimes turn out to matter, and talking it through can help clarify what applies to you personally at this stage. We can show how that may influence the direction of your car accident compensation claim.
Questions worth thinking about before you call:
- Who else was involved in the car crash, and how can they be reached?
- Which doctor, GP or health provider have you seen for your injuries so far?
- Has anything arrived from ICWA, an insurer or another party?
- How has the car accident affected your ability to work, and have you lost income?
Missing answers should not stop you from getting in touch. Share what you know, and we can work out together which gaps matter and how they might be filled.
When to Speak with an Accident Claims Lawyer in Forrestfield
Not every accident is a simple one between two cars, and circumstances can affect what is worth noting down. Below are some examples our clients ask about, and we can go through any that apply.
More than two vehicles were involved Note the order of the vehicles and everyone’s details where possible. | A truck or van was involved Note business name, markings and number plate; employers may be involved too. |
You were in a rental or borrowed car Keep the owner’s details and any rental or insurance papers safe. | You were asked to see an insurer’s doctor Ask us before attending an ICWA-arranged medical assessment, and keep notes. |
Someone offered to pay you directly Note exactly what was said; early private offers can undervalue your claim. | It happened on a main road or freeway Note the road, direction of travel and the nearest landmark. |
Step by Step: Planning Your Finances While You Recover
Time off work and extra costs can put pressure on finances following a road accident injury. These steps are general ideas, and your circumstances will shape what is possible.
- Write down your regular expenses and any upcoming bills.
- Check what sick leave, annual leave or income protection cover you may have.
- Keep payslips, bank statements and records of any lost wages or lost income as these help evidence an economic loss claim.
- Ask us what other help may be worth looking into while your compensation claim progresses.

Frequently Asked Questions - Accident claims in Forrestfield
A motor vehicle accident claim brings up practical concerns beyond the legal ones, from doctor changes and moving house to family conversations, medical reports and pressure to settle. Our answers are general, so please ask if yours differs.
Time limits apply to CTP claims in Western Australia, and generally court proceedings must be commenced within three years of the accident. Shorter notice requirements can also apply, so it is best to get advice early rather than wait.
Every claim is different. Compensation in an ICWA claim can cover things like medical and treatment expenses, lost income and pain and suffering, but the amount depends on your injuries, medical evidence and circumstances. We will give you a realistic view rather than a figure plucked from the air.
Ask the clinic about seeing another doctor and request that your notes be shared with them, so treatment stays consistent. Tell us if your provider changes so we can update our records.
Let us know your new address and contact details straight away, and update insurers and medical providers too. Consider arranging mail redirection through the post office so that nothing important is missed.
You decide what to share, so it is fine to keep your claim details private. Casual comments can be repeated, so speak to us if you are unsure what to say.
Ask the doctor who wrote the report to explain anything unclear, and note your questions. Avoid guessing what a term means. We can also explain how a medical report may relate to your compensation claim.
