Hit by a car in WA? – Can I claim through ICWA?

Yes—pedestrians in WA can claim through ICWA if a driver was at fault. Report the crash, notify ICWA, and note that most claims have a 3-year limit to commence legal proceedings. Being partially at fault (e.g. jaywalking) usually reduces, not cancels, compensation.

Do you have a pedestrian claim?

Because WA’s compulsory third-party (CTP) scheme is fault-based, pedestrians injured by a negligent driver can claim compensation—i.e., if you were on foot and a driver’s negligence caused your injuries, you may have a valid pedestrian accident claim.

Common Scenarios

  • Crosswalk or traffic lights in Perth CBD and suburbs (pedestrian crosswalk injury compensation).
  • Carpark or driveway impacts where drivers fail to give way.
  • Roadside jogging or walking with poor lookout by drivers.
  • Hit-and-run or uninsured drivers.
  • Jaywalking / mid-block crossings with possible contributory negligence.

We deal with ICWA daily and build evidence-led cases fast.
