Compensation Lawyers in Perth

WorkCover WA is the government body that oversees workers compensation in Western Australia. If you’re injured on the job, you may be entitled to weekly wages, medical treatment and a lump sum if your injury is permanent. To start a claim, you usually need a “First Certificate of Capacity” from your GP. We can help you lodge your claim and ensure it’s handled correctly from day one.

In Western Australia, road injury claims are handled through the Insurance Commission of WA (ICWA). Whether you were driving or a passenger, on a motorbike or bicycle, or hit as a pedestrian — if someone else was at fault, you may be eligible to claim. ICWA may cover treatment, income loss, and other expenses. We’ll guide you through the claims process and deal directly with the insurer.

In most personal injury cases in WA, you have three years from the date of the injury to lodge a claim. However, time limits can vary depending on the type of claim — for example, WorkCover claims should be reported as soon as possible, and TAC-equivalent claims through ICWA should be lodged promptly. If you’re unsure about timing, contact us early so we can protect your rights.

It means you don’t pay us anything unless we win your case. We’ll cover all legal costs while we prepare and run your claim. If your claim is successful, our legal fees come from the final settlement — and we’ll explain those fees clearly before you sign anything. If we don’t win, you owe us nothing. It’s that simple.

Your payout depends on the type and severity of your injury, how it happened, and how it affects your work and life. For example, a serious back injury that stops you from returning to work may result in higher compensation than a short-term fracture. In WA, you may be entitled to weekly payments, medical expenses, lump sums for permanent impairment, or superannuation benefits. We’ll assess your claim and give you a clear picture of what’s possible.
