Correctly determining who is to blame is a crucial stage in your accident compensation claim, and you should obtain legal assistance for this. Gajic Lawyers has trusted Perth car accident injury lawyers that can handle and advise on the legal proceedings when you file a claim, allowing you to focus on your recovery with the least amount of pain, worry, and inconvenience possible. After filing a claim in Perth, our experienced team of car accident injury lawyers ensures that all of our clients follow the car accident injury claim procedure.
The priority when you’re involved in a car accident is to seek medical attention as soon as possible. This is the case even if you feel you’ve escaped the incident unscathed.
While cuts and bruises may be obvious signs requiring attention, many injuries sustained in car accidents – such as whiplash, concussion, spinal and neck injuries – only emerge in the days and week after the accident. Some of these injuries can be chronic, impairing your quality of life and ability to work. Examination by a doctor, therefore, as soon as possible after the accident is essential. Not only does the assessment help protect your health and welfare, but your medical record will also later become an important component of any claim for damages arising from the accident.
If you have the presence of mind or have a family member or friend with you, another thing to always try and do is take notes and/or photos at the scene of the accident – your injuries, the damage to your car, the location, what the weather was like the time of day, and the contact details of any witnesses. All of these details will later be helpful to Car Accident Lawyers Perth pursuing your compensation claim.
The Motor Accident Claims Process
Making the claim can be a complex and time-consuming process but one that Car Accident Lawyers Perth will guide you through to completion.
It begins with submitting the relevant claim form to the appropriate insurer. The insurer then makes its own assessment of the claim and decides to either accept or refuse it.
If accepted, negotiations will begin with the insurer to decide on the claim’s value and reach a settlement figure. The experience of Car Accident Lawyers Perth is essential during this process.
If the claim is rejected, your lawyer will still negotiate with the insurer, perhaps through a dispute resolution process such as mediation, to have your claim recognised. Commonly, the insurer may claim that you were wholly or partially responsible for the accident, or dispute the severity of the injury for which you’re claiming.
During this process, the claimant needs to be keeping records of all medical appointments and all costs associated with treatment and rehabilitation of his injury. It’s wise to also keep accurate records of the financial impact of the accident in terms of lost wages or other costs associated with not being able to work.
What can You Claim for?
If the injury you’ve sustained in the accident prevents you from working and earning money, you can claim lost earnings both now and in the future. This will include amounts for the loss of past and future superannuation benefits.
The costs of medical treatment, rehabilitation and support services such as domestic care can also be compensated as part of the claim.
The more severe the nature of the injury and its impact, the larger the amount of compensation you may be entitled to.
A compensation claim can also be made for what was known as ‘general damages’. In a successful claim, this amount will reflect the ‘pain and suffering’, both physical and psychological, that you’ve experienced as a result of the injury. Other non-economic losses related to your loss of quality of life may also be part of this damages amount.
Time Limits and the Need for the Right Advice
In any compensation matter, there are strict time limits to be observed in making a claim. Car Accident Lawyers Perth will ensure your claim is filed within the relevant period because, if you fail to meet the applicable deadline, your claim could then be barred.
Car Accident Lawyers Perth has years of expertise and experience in bringing compensation claims in motor vehicle accidents and will give your claim the best chance of success.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a lawyer if I’ve been in a car accident?
If you are injured in a car accident through no fault of your own, you may be entitled to file a motor vehicle accident claim for compensation. Gajic Lawyers’ experienced Perth car accident lawyers can guarantee that your rights are protected following an accident on the road in Perth, WA. Our team of car accident lawyers is ready to fight for what is legally yours!
A personal injury compensation claim for injured victims of car accidents or other motor vehicle accidents is known as a motor vehicle accident claim. The most prevalent motor injury claims include car, truck, motorcycle, bus, pedestrian, and hit-and-run accidents.
Negotiation is often used to resolve most personal injury cases in Perth. This is an adversarial system where the insurer is not obligated to provide you with a fair amount of compensation. Most insurers will hire legal counsel to represent them in negotiations. Because this is a highly complex and specialized field of law, you will be at a tremendous disadvantage if you do not have personal injury Lawyers Perth for legal representation to stand up for your rights.
Gajic Lawyers has earned a reputation for being fierce and relentless negotiators. If you want to make sure you get all of your compensation, please contact us.
Can I still claim compensation if I was partly at fault?
Nobody enjoys making mistakes, and it’s reasonable to feel uneasy if you were partially to blame for an accident. It’s critical to understand that you may still be eligible for compensation if you:
- played a role in the accident and were somewhat to blame;
- were under the influence of narcotics or alcohol;
- did not adhere to the laws of the road;
- were not wearing a seatbelt;
- were riding a motorcycle, scooter, or bicycle without a helmet; or
- were travelling in an open-top car with no restraints.
Please keep in mind that to file a compensation claim, it must be proven that another driver or owner of a vehicle (not yours) was at least partially to blame. In the case of a catastrophic injury, there are certain exceptions to this general rule.
