Our approach to personal injury compensation claims
We’ll try and keep things as simple as possible from start to finish:
Assess your case
In our first chat, we'll take the time to hear you out and understand your situation. All while staying obligation-free and completely confidential.
Investigate entitlements
We look at your situation and explore the compensation options available to you. Then we'll talk you through our paths forward.
Build your case
We gather the documents and medical evidence needed to support your claim. You focus on recovery — we'll handle the rest.
Negotiate to settle early
We handle the negotiations for you, present offers and options to you, and aim to settle your claim as early as we can. If court is needed though, we'll be right there with you.

"I can definitely recommend Cara Jones and the Shine team. I have been dealing with both a workers compensation injury claim and a car crash injury claim which is complicated. I have been able to focus on my recovery treatment whilst Cara managed the legal side of the stressful process. They have a full support team that also helped resolve the various different aspects of my claims. I was kept updated when I needed to be and Cara was always helpful when I had questions. Thanks Cara and the rest of the team for all your help and support. Jason"

"Brandon and his amazing team at Shine Lawyers managed my workers comp claim on a no win no fee basis. My case was quite difficult and took many years to get a favourable outcome. Brandon and his team never gave up and kept on pursuing the insurer all the way throughout the process. My case was eventually settled earlier this year and I am very satisfied and forever grateful to Brandon and everyone at Shine for their unwavering help and support during this difficult time. Thanks you so much!!!"

"I had a very positive experience working with Shine Lawyers, and in particular with Andrew Awwad. Andrew was professional, clear, and supportive throughout the entire process. He took the time to explain each step, kept me informed, and handled everything with care and attention to detail. The matter was managed smoothly from start to finish, and I felt well supported and confident in the way my case was handled. I really appreciated the clear communication and the respectful, human approach. Thank you to Andrew and the Shine team for your support and guidance."
