Insurance Commission of WA

If you have been injured in a motor vehicle crash, you can claim for support when: you were driving a vehicle, and the driver of the other vehicle caused the crash (ie they were at fault) OR you were a passenger, pedestrian or cyclist/scooter rider and the driver of the vehicle was at fault. The vehicle that caused the crash needs to be registered in Western Australia to make a claim. You may not be able to claim if: you were totally at fault a pedestrian, cyclist or scooter rider caused the accident the person at fault was the driver of a vehicle licensed in another state or territory. If the vehicle at fault is unidentified or unlicenced, you may still be able to claim.
