Kye Bruce
Senior Associate
I completed my combined Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Laws in 2016 through Macquarie University and soon after completed my Graduate Diploma of Legal Practice through the College of Law. I am admitted as a lawyer in both the Supreme Court and High Court of New South Wales.
I joined the Coastal Compensation Law Specialist team in 2016 and since then I have focused on acting for injured claimants in workers' compensation claims (including work injury damages claims and multi-party claims), motor vehicle accident CTP claims (under both the 1999 and 2017 systems) and public liability personal injury claims. I have a wealth of experience under the old Workers Compensation Commission and Motor Accident Service/Dispute Resolution Service and regularly appear in the recently established Personal Injury Commission. I'm experienced in acting for injured claimants in Conciliation/Arbitrations, Mediations, informal settlement conferences and contested hearings.
I pride myself on my diligence in representing injured claimants throughout all stages of their matters, to ensure they receive the maximum compensation they are entitled to. I'm available to see you at either our Gosford or Wyong office, and am always accessible by telephone or email.

When specialised legal assistance is required and in unforeseen circumstances, it is often quite a challenge to find the right counsel who can deliver a solid result.

Coastal Compensation Law Specialists is one of the best law firms I have dealt with and thank you Kye, for all that you have done to best support my wife and I throughout this sensitive and challenging time.
I would like to personally thank Kye Bruce and Mia Levy from Coastal Compensation Law Specialists for looking after me, progressing and settling my motor vehicle accident claim. Their ongoing help with my claim against the insurance company was very much appreciated. It’s a nice win for me and Coastal Compensation Law Specialists. Thank you for your patience and understanding, I wish you all the best in the future.
For the first time in fifty-eight years I found myself in a situation where I was in need of legal representation to finalise my workers compensation claim with an insurance company who for near two years took pride in being more a hindrance than helpful. With bugger all research or advice from anyone I drew a local law firms name out of a hat and arranged a meeting with Kye Bruce. In a calm and friendly atmosphere he obtained all the information he required from me and then proceeded to explain to me in layman terms what I was entitled to and how he was going to make it happen. And within a short period of time he did just that with a better than expected outcome. Both Kye and Mia I found to be not only professional in their craft but extremely supportive, compassionate and diligent. Not once was I ever left swinging in the breeze wondering what was going on. It’s easy to see they love what they do.
Thank you Kye, thank you Mia and thank you Coastal Compensation Law Specialists for having these two worthy people in your employ.
Kye, man to man you’re a good bloke and trust me I’ve met a few in my time. I’m so grateful, you did what nobody seemed to be able to do in less time then it took to grow a decent beard. Thank you Kye, you gave me back some dignity.
We really are thrilled with the result you won for us Kye and are making sure the dark chapter of our lives becomes a “springboard” for our future. We will always be thankful for the part you played.
Coastal Compensation Law Specialist handled my workers compensation claim with diligence and care. A good and just resolution was achieved by Kye Bruce in negotiation with the other side, resulting in a pleasing result with me receiving lump sum compensation.
I was very stressed, tired, let down and felt my situation was hopeless after my workers compensation claim was rejected by the insurance company. I had one consultation with Kye Bruce of Coastal Compensation Law Specialists where we discussed my claim. From day one, Kye and his secretary Mia made me feel comfortable, confident and most of all, I felt like they believed in me and my case.
Kye did everything necessary over a short period of time to win my case with exceptional results. I can highly recommend Kye and Mia of CCLS for the amazing outcome and allowing my life to get back on track!

I was referred to Coastal Compensation Law Specialists by a close friend who is also a solicitor. Kye Bruce made contact with me and I discussed my situation with him. Kye explained to me the procedure that was involved in pursuing my matter. I was kept informed of every update and the next action to follow. Kye was very understanding with my situation and patient with my questions. We have come to the end of this legal process and the outcome for me has been positive and went to plan exactly how Kye explained it at the start. I would have no problem to recommend Kye Bruce of Coastal Compensation Law Specialists to anyone who needs legal assistance.
I contacted Coastal Compensation Law Specialists and spoke with Kye Bruce regarding an injury I sustained at work. Kye was very informative from a legal view and answered all questions in detail. Not only did he win my case, he was also with me from start to finish, going above and beyond to achieve the best results.
Good morning Kye, I would like to thank you for your time and effort on my case, without you I wouldn’t have the outcome I have so thank you so so much, you’re a legend. I can’t express enough to you how much you have changed my life is such a positive way, I can’t thank you enough. I feel like I have a new lease on life, it will never get rid of my back pain but this will help with my future.
I suffered a neck injury whilst working and my employer and their workers compensation insurer refused to acknowledge my claim. I called Coastal Compensation Law Specialists for help. Kye Bruce became my solicitor and quickly started dealing with this dispute on my behalf.
Kye informed me of all the documents I needed and medical appointments I needed to attend to assist with my claim. If it wasn’t for Kye, I would not have been reimbursed the out-of-pocket expenses I had already paid for my surgery and associated treatment, nor been paid weekly benefits and lump sum compensation for permanent impairment.
I would highly recommend using Kye and Coastal Compensation Law Specialists in any workers compensation claim

I had the daunting task of finding a professional team to handle my compensation injury claim. After calling around and speaking to several legal firms, I called Coastal Compensation Law Specialists at Wyong and I was introduced to Kye Bruce & Mia Levy from their firm. My case was not as straight forward as some and I have to say that Kye & Mia both went far and beyond in handling my case. I highly recommend CCLS for any compensation matters that arise, a personal thank you again for all your amazing efforts.

I was referred to Kye Bruce at CCLS by another local law firm who told me they no longer practiced in workers compensation. I forwarded my original inquiry to Kye Bruce, who soon after contacted me by both phone & email and arranged a meeting. During the meeting, Kye obtained further details from me before explaining what he could do for me, the processes surrounding those options & answered any questions about all we had spoken about. Throughout the entire process, everything was explained to me before any decision was asked of me. At every instance I was kept up to date and asked if I was if I needed more information or more time before making any decision & all information was given without influence. I was completely satisfied with the outcome of my case and would gladly recommend CCLS & Kye Bruce to anyone that needed genuine, honest & professional assistance in any legal matter.
I contacted Kye Bruce at Coastal Compensation Law Specialists for some initial advice on a CTP car accident claim. I had no idea what to do or if I should pursue a claim further. My experience with Kye from the outset was excellent. From the first phone call, to agreeing to have Kye has my solicitor, and subsequent meetings and dealings with Kye over a 6 month period, he and the staff at CCLS were always very professional and thorough. As someone who has never been through anything like this before, Kye’s knowledge and experience made sure I achieved a very successful outcome. I highly recommend Kye Bruce and CCLS team.

In Feb 2017 I was involved in a high-speed head-on car accident. I was not expected to live due to the horrific injuries I suffered. Extensive research led me to Kye Bruce from Coastal Compensation Law Specialists. He was honest and straight forward from day one. Even a specialist in Sydney commented that he’s never seen a solicitor be more thorough or professional.
My claim was settled in February 2019. I never expected to get enough for a house plus some money to invest to secure my future because of how complicated my claim and circumstances were. Everything Kye told me over the two years- from the approximated bill for my claim, all the specialists he sent me to and the advice he gave me was spot on.
Thank you Kye and CCLS, you changed my life and gave me a future. He is an example of an honest straight-forward hardworking solicitor who has their client’s best interests at heart.
In May 2018 I slipped on a piece of avocado at my local shopping centre. I landed on my knee suffering significant injuries and had to have surgery. The next day I contacted Coastal Compensation Law Specialists and spoke to Kye Bruce, who became my solicitor from our first phone call in May 2018 until the settlement in February 2019. Kye kept me well informed of everything that was happening with my claim. I found Kye to be extremely efficient and quick to get me a settlement sum I am happy with. The support staff at CCLS were very polite and helpful as well. I would recommend Kye and his team at CCLS to anybody who needed to seek compensation for an injury. Their no win no fee policy is a bonus. Thank you.
Hi Kye, thanks for all your help with my workers compensation claim. It’s been a tough year for me mentally and if I listened to what my employer had said I wouldn’t have a job now. Thanks again for everything you did.
Hi Kye, I want to say a huge thank you for all your hard work for this claim and taking on the case. You made it stress free and communicated well with the whole process with what was needed and what to expect. Thank you for all your patience and understanding during it all and working in with my hours at work. I am very happy with the outcome and I am forever grateful for the work you put into it.
I would just like to thank Kye Bruce for the effort he put in to resolving my case following the slip & fall I suffered in March this year. Kye had it all solved by December the same year. I can’t say enough to thank Kye for negotiating my case so quickly. Every time I needed to talk to Kye by phone he quickly responded to my call to answer any questions I asked. He also contacted me weekly to keep me informed of my case. By quickly solving my claim, he kept the legal fees down so it was in my favour. Thank you to all the staff at CCLS who were also very informative. In saying that, I highly recommend Kye & his team for my fantastic outcome.

I would thoroughly recommend Kye Bruce and CCLS to anyone who needs help with their workers compensation claim.
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.
Thank you Kye, we are so pleased and never expected this great outcome. It will make life so much simpler for Paul. Your ongoing attention to detail never ceased to amaze me.
I would like to thank Kye Bruce for his attention to my matter regarding my injury at work. Thank you for your professional and diligent manner in handling my case. Kye explained what would happen and it all was resolved in a decent time frame. I would be happy to recommend Kye and CCLS to my friends.
