Bathurst Lawyers for Injury Claims and Criminal Charges

Bathurst lawyers from Mike Murphy Law Group handle injury claims and criminal charges from the town. The first call is free. After that the file runs by phone and video, and counsel attends the Bathurst courthouse on the dates that need a lawyer in the room. Files run in French or in English.

Bathurst’s Courthouse Hears Its Own Cases

Both levels of court sit in the city. The Provincial Court of New Brunswick calls criminal charges in Bathurst, and the city is the seat of its own judicial district, so Court of King’s Bench lawsuits from the Chaleur region are filed and tried there. Retaining counsel based in Moncton does not move a Bathurst case to Moncton.

The Injury Claim and the Two-Year Clock

Most New Brunswick injury claims expire two years after the claim arises, under the Limitation of Actions Act, and we calculate your date before anything else. The Chaleur Regional Hospital holds most local treatment records and releases them on your signed consent. Trail country shapes the practice here. An ATV accident off Route 11 or in the woods behind town turns on whose insurance covers the machine, the trail and the rider, and sorting that early protects the claim. Denied disability benefits are their own caseload in a resource economy, and a denial is challenged as described on our LTD.

Criminal Defence for Bathurst Lawyers’ Clients

The city has its own municipal force, the Bathurst Police Force, with RCMP detachments covering the surrounding villages. No decision is made on a Bathurst charge until the Crown’s disclosure has been produced and read, because the disclosure shows whether the file is a trial or a resolution. A charge in Bathurst can be tried in French, and whether to elect French should be settled before the election is entered. We also defend assault and impaired driving (DUI) charges across the province.

What Opening a Bathurst File Takes

Your account of what happened, whatever police or an insurer has already put in writing, and a signed consent for your medical records. Everything after that is our work. Counsel attends the Bathurst courthouse on the dates that require a lawyer there. Contact us or call.
