Motor Vehicle Accidents
Motor vehicle accidents are one of the primary causes of compensable personal injury in Western Australia today. For almost 70 years, vehicle owners in Western Australia have contributed an annual fee towards a public scheme called Compulsory Third Party insurance. This public insurance scheme allows those injured to receive compensation payments to compensate for their injuries. Frichot & Frichot assists clients in the compensation process ensuring that victims receive just compensation for their injuries with minimal stress.Articles of Interest
