Miramichi Lawyers for Injury and Criminal Files

Miramichi lawyers from Mike Murphy Law Group act on injury claims and criminal charges from the city. The file moves by phone and video, and when a Miramichi court date calls for counsel in person, counsel travels.

The Miramichi Courthouse and Judicial District

Miramichi has its own courts. The Provincial Court of New Brunswick sits in the city, and Miramichi is one of the province’s eight judicial districts, so Court of King’s Bench matters are heard locally too. The Courts of New Brunswick site publishes sitting schedules. A charge from anywhere along the river valley is called here and not in Moncton or Bathurst.

Injury Files Miramichi Lawyers Take On

A claim has two years under the province’s Limitation of Actions Act, and the safest move is to have the deadline calculated long before it matters. Records come from the Miramichi Regional Hospital and your own physician, gathered with your written consent. The river, Route 8 and Route 11 shape the caseload: highway collisions, and motorcycle accident claims in the riding season. The city stretches along both banks of the river, which puts a real number of kilometres between a client’s home and the clinic treating them, and travel to treatment is a recoverable expense that should be tracked from the first appointment.

Criminal Defence Before the Miramichi Provincial Court

Miramichi is one of the few New Brunswick cities with its own municipal force, the Miramichi Police Force, and the RCMP covers the surrounding villages. Release conditions come first on most files: a curfew or a no-contact term set at the first appearance can be varied, and the application to vary it is usually brought early. The impaired driving (DUI) page and the assault page cover the two charges we see most from the city.

Counsel Drives to the Miramichi Sittings

Miramichi has its own courthouse and the firm attends it, so counsel makes the ninety minutes on Route 11 and you do not. Between dates, the file is updated by phone and email. Contact the firm or call.
