Motor Vehicle Accidents & Claims
If injured in a motor vehicle accident, a person may be able to make a claim for personal injury compensation under the Compulsory Third Party (CTP) scheme. In Western Australia, the CTP is a Third Party Insurer set up by the government to provide personal injury compensation for people who are injured or die as a result of a car accident, or other motor vehicle related road accidents. Personal injury in legal terms refers to the general physical and/or psychological damages sustained by a person that are the fault of another responsible party, be it the driver of another car, an individual, or the owner or manager of a public space. The most common types of motor vehicle accident claims in Australia are injuries arising from car, motorcycle, train and tram related accidents.
