Hayley has over 15 years’ experience in personal injury law and specialises in serious head trauma and traumatic brain injury compensation claims across Queensland. Her dedication to this area was shaped by personal experience supporting a close friend who sustained a catastrophic brain injury.
Hayley is a Senior Associate in Shine Lawyers’ Head Trauma practice. Her work focuses on:
Catastrophic injury and lifetime care claims
Economic loss and future care claims
Hayley has secured life-changing outcomes for clients with complex and disputed brain injuries, including achieving a seven-figure settlement after insurers initially denied liability, turning a nil offer into a settlement of up to $1 million.
She is highly experienced in managing mild, moderate and severe traumatic brain injuries, including cases involving post-concussion syndrome, cognitive impairment, memory loss, balance disorders and long-term care needs. Hayley works closely with neurologists, neuropsychologists, rehabilitation specialists and treating GPs to ensure her clients receive appropriate treatment and that every impact of the injury is fully captured.
Known for her empathetic and patient approach, Hayley supports clients and families navigating emotional, behavioural and personality changes following brain injury. She provides not only legal guidance, but steady reassurance through what can be a lengthy and challenging claims process.
Hayley is passionate about securing outcomes that fund lifelong care, protect families and give clients the security they need to move forward.
