Chris is a Senior Lawyer with Shine Lawyers’ Head Trauma practice in Queensland. His practice includes advising seriously injured clients on:

• Head trauma and traumatic brain injury compensation

Chris is known for resolving complex, high-value brain injury claims and has successfully settled multiple multi-million-dollar head trauma matters, including a recent $19 million settlement currently proceeding to court sanction — one of the most significant traumatic brain injury outcomes in the firm’s history.

Head trauma claims often involve subtle cognitive and behavioural symptoms that are not immediately visible on scans. Chris meticulously builds these cases by briefing leading neuropsychologists, neurologists, psychiatrists and occupational physicians to ensure every consequence of a client’s injury is medically documented and legally quantified

He also undertakes extensive before-and-after investigations, gathering detailed evidence from family members, friends and co-workers to establish functional decline and maximise damages for care, treatment, lost earning capacity and future needs.

Chris is known for his patient, compassionate approach, particularly when acting for clients with impaired communication, memory loss and personality changes following brain injury. He guides families through the process with clarity and care at a time when life feels uncertain and overwhelming.
