Plain-English answers about Western Australian public liability claims.

Reviewed by CompoCheck Editorial Team · Last updated

How long do I have in WA?
Three years from the date of injury (or from when the injury became apparent). Children have until their 21st birthday. WA's limitation rules under the Limitation Act 2005 are strict; lodge early.
How much can I claim in WA?
Damages are calculated under the Civil Liability Act 2002 (WA). Heads include past and future economic loss, medical expenses, care, and (subject to a deductible amount) non-economic loss. Most WA public liability matters settle from $20,000 for minor cases to $300,000+ for serious injuries.
Can I claim against a WA local government or council?
Yes, but with limitations. The Civil Liability Act 2002 (WA) provides defences for road authorities and council-controlled premises in certain circumstances. Document the hazard, retain photos, and obtain witness statements where possible. Your matched lawyer will assess viability.
How are legal costs handled in WA public liability?
Most matters run on a no-win-no-fee basis. WA applies costs rules under the Legal Profession Uniform Law and the Civil Liability Act. Always get the costs disclosure document and ask about any "uplift" fees before signing.
