Who Can Make a Motorcycle Accident Claim?
Motorcyclists are considered vulnerable road users. In 2024, 286 people were killed or seriously injured in motorcycle accidents in WA.
If you rode or were a passenger on a motorcycle and were injured or suffered losses due to someone else’s negligence, you may have the right to claim compensation. In Western Australia, the Insurance Commission of Western Australia (ICWA) covers anyone injured on public roads with Compulsory Third Party Insurance.
Whether you were on a motorbike, moped or scooter, it’s important to understand how your injuries could affect you long-term, both medically and financially. Getting legal advice from a motorcycle accident lawyer is essential to know your rights and make sure you get the right compensation.
What Can I Claim For?
If you have an eligible motorcycle accident injury claim, you may be entitled to compensation for the following:
01
Medical Treatment Costs
Reimbursement for expenses related to medical care and rehabilitation.
02
Economic Loss
Compensation for loss of income due to being unable to work as a result of your injuries.
03
Pain and Suffering
For significant injuries, you can claim for physical and emotional distress caused by the accident.
04
Property Damage
For the repair or replacement of your motorcycle, helmet, clothing, or other personal items damaged.
What Steps Should I Take?

Is there a time limit to make a motorcycle accident injury claim?
Yes, there are strict time limits for reporting a motorbike accident and making a claim. If you haven’t started legal proceedings before the deadline, you might lose your right to claim compensation. For a legally competent adult, the time limit for a motorcycle injury claim starts when they know they have an injury, usually the date of the accident. Special rules apply if the person making the claim is under a certain age or has a mental disability.
What affects the amount of compensation I receive?
The severity of your injuries can impact the amount of compensation to which you are entitled. Also, the amount you can claim may be reduced if you weren’t wearing a helmet while riding a motorbike or if you were partially at fault. The total compensation you receive will be reduced in proportion to your level of fault.
