I liked Kye Bruce from CCLS very much. Rapid response time, always made himself available for me and genuinely had my best interest at hand. His knowledge and foresight in my case were most helpful and he offered me sound advice. I always felt he had my back. I would thoroughly recommend Kye Bruce and CCLS to anyone who needs help with their workers compensation claim.
I am so glad I chose James Parkin from Coastal Compensation Law Specialists (CCLS) to represent me in my personal injury claim. Choosing which lawyer to represent me was a daunting task, but I chose CCLS and when I first met James and explained my situation, I felt immediately at ease that I had chosen the right lawyer. James is very professional and answered the questions I had in an honest and sincere manner.
After thorough investigation by James of my circumstances, I found James very articulate and the team at CCLS were very proficient and courteous. Thankfully a resolution was gained quicker than I anticipated and I am very grateful to James and his team for their support and encouragement. I have no hesitation in recommending James and CCLS to anyone who requires the expertise of a Compensation Lawyer.
In 2015 I suffered a workplace injury that resulted in a major spinal surgery. My employer looked after me as much as legislation requires, however I have been left with physical restrictions that will affect me permanently. I was initially concerned that seeking compensation through legal means would be a difficult task – taking a lot of time out of my already tight schedule, however the entire process was made extremely easy by the staff at Coastal Compensation Law Specialists in Gosford.
I would like to personally thank the staff at CCLS, in particular Kye Bruce who was available to return my many calls within the hour and provided sound advice on each and every occasion. Kye made things really easy for me and I would highly recommend the services of Kye and CCLS to anyone seeking compensation for an injury.
Hi Kye, thank you very much for handling my case against the Insurance company and getting my medical expenses dispute awarded in my favour, what a professional you are. All your hard work behind the scenes is a credit to you, you always filled me in with updates and made me feel very comfortable when I attended your office. A true professional.
In December 2016, I suffered injuries to my shoulder, wrist and ankle when I fell disembarking a charter boat. I had to undergo surgery and Christmas was ruined for my family and I, as I couldn’t do anything physical and I felt extremely down and uncomfortable due to my injuries. To make matters worse, I had to give up my sole trader business as I could not continue working, which meant that I did not have an income. I began to stress when I thought about what the future would hold for me. I contacted Kye Bruce at Coastal Compensation Law Specialists and met with him to discuss my options. Kye then began to take all the necessary steps to investigate the circumstances of my incident and prepare my claim for negligence. Through his diligence and hard work, I recently received compensation for my injuries. I am grateful that I approached Kye and his team at CCLS to represent me in my personal injury claim.
I was involved in an accident in May 2017 where I was a pedestrian struck by a motor vehicle. I sustained both physical and psychological injuries as a result of the accident. I needed legal assistance with making a claim against the relevant CTP insurer and luckily I contacted Coastal Compensation Law Specialists (CCLS) who helped me prepare and lodge the claim forms in time. James Parkin, Senior Associate, was most helpful and sympathetic throughout the whole process. I was very traumatised by what happened to me in the accident and James was accommodating and supportive in the way he advised me. I always got to meet with James or his colleague, Kye Bruce, regarding my claim which resolved recently. I got an amazing outcome and I am very grateful to James, Kye and the team at CCLS for their assistance.
I have found the team at CCLS empathetic, sincere and compassionate. They used their knowledge and professional skills to ensure the best possible outcome. Communication was clear and understandable. I would recommend CCLS to anyone who has experienced a workplace injury and requires legal counsel.
Following a successful outcome, I was advised by CCLS to pursue a further compensation claim for Work Injury Damages. I achieved a very favourable resolution of the Work Injury Damages claim as well thanks to CCLS.
James Parkin and the team at CCLS were very understanding, compassionate, thorough and personable in the provision of their services. James was really supportive and took the time to meet me face to face and made sure I understood every aspect of the claims. I cannot thank James enough for the support he gave me through the whole process – it was so nice to have someone on my side for a change! I was always well informed and felt comfortable with the advice I received at each stage of the claims. I am very grateful for the assistance of CCLS and would recommend them to anyone with a potential compensation claim.

Approximately 18 months ago I was in need of a lawyer to assist my elderly uncle in a Compensation claim. Having never needed a lawyer before, I was completely in the dark, but luck was on our side when I approached the firm CCLS. After meeting with them and explaining the situation, they agreed to take on my Uncles case and from that moment on, I knew we were in great hands.
It was a long and often drawn out procedure, but everything was always handled with tact, professionalism and courtesy. We were kept well informed at all times and things were always explained in ways that we fully understood. CCLS achieved an excellent result for my Uncle and we are eternally grateful for their help.
Whilst I pray to never have need of legal services again, I know that if the time ever comes, I would be in the best of hands and have complete faith in the ability and services of CCLS, and in particular James Parkin, Senior Associate.
I have no hesitation in recommending this firm to anyone who needs smart, loyal and trustworthy service.
I was run over by a truck when I was in primary school and wanted to see if there was any way I could be compensated for the ongoing issues I have as a result of my injuries. My case had many hurdles to overcome and if it wasn’t for the hard work and dedication of the team at CCLS, I might never have been able to achieve the final amazing financial result. A massive shout out to Michelle Meares who was very professional and made sure I understood everything, every step of the way. Words cannot express how thankful I am and I would recommend CCLS to anyone.
Other lawyers were more interested in what my case meant financially to them rather than getting the best outcome for me. James Parkin was a breath of fresh air, he quickly itemised what action needed to be taken, gave me an honest assessment, helpful advice and created a plan which led to a very successful outcome. I can highly recommend CCLS
CCLS handled my Workers Compensation claim which was lengthy, complex and difficult with many issues to deal with. CCLS performed an exceptional job in ensuring that I received what I was entitled to from the Insurer. Their solicitors and staff have been diligent, proactive, communicative and thoughtful, and always focused on getting the best outcome for me. I highly recommend CCLS.

This was a very disturbing documentary about the opioid use and the impact it has had on increasing the rates of homelessness in addicts and on communities. Some of these opioids include Oxynorm®, OxyContin®, Endone®, Proladone®, Targin®. It's a very addictive pharmaceutical pain killer which has caused the death of many people through accidental overdoes.
In Australia National, the amount of oxycodone (found in OxyContin®) being prescribed by doctors increased from 95.1 kg in 1999 to 1270.7 kg in 2008 – a 13-fold increase (see the Australian Drug & Alcohol Foundation website). We imagine these figures have increased even more since 2008. Some of the names this opioid analgesic goes by are hillbilly heroin, oxy, OC and O.
If you take a large amount of oxycodone, you could overdose. If you have any of the symptoms below, call an ambulance straight away by dialling triple zero (000). Ambulance officers don’t need to involve the police. If possible, have the medicine with you so the ambulance officers know what has been taken.
Chest pain or discomfort
Small pupils
Decreased awareness or responsiveness
Extreme drowsiness and loss of consciousness
No muscle tone or movement
Slow or irregular heartbeat
If you are on any of the prescription medicine listed above, we recommend you visit the Australian Drug & Alcohol Foundation website to educate yourself on the side affects this medicine has. It would also be worthwhile discussing your medicine with your doctor to determine if there are other pain relief medicines available which are not as addictive.

Family Violence Law Help is a website about domestic and family violence and the law, Australia-wide.How much are you worth for wrongful arrest?
In Robinson v State of NSW (2018) NSWCA, the Plaintiff attended a Sydney Police Station after learning that the Police wanted to contact him. On attending, the Police arrested him, without warrant due to an alleged breach of an Apprehended Violence Order. He agreed to participate in a record of interview, after which he was released without charge. He was in Police Custody for one hour and twenty minutes. Although the Judge had first instance found against the Plaintiff, the Court of Appeal determined that as the Police Officer had not made a decision as to whether to charge the Plaintiff at the time of arrest, the arrest was not for the purpose of commencing the criminal process and accordingly was unlawful. The Plaintiff therefore succeeded in his claim for wrongful arrest/false imprisonment. For the period spent in custody of one hour and twenty minutes, he was awarded $5,000.
