Summerside Lawyers for Prince County Injury Claims

Mike Murphy Law Group takes injury claims from Summerside and the rest of Prince County. A lawyer takes the first call. The firm has no office in Summerside and appears in the county when a claim reaches a step that needs counsel present.

Prince County Hospital Is Where Summerside Lawyers Start the Medical File

Treatment in the city means Prince County Hospital, and its chart is the main medical record in a claim. Complex cases transferred to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Charlottetown add a second record. Your family doctor’s notes, the physiotherapy file and your employer’s payroll records complete the picture, all requested under one written consent. An insurer that has paid Section B benefits is entitled to be repaid out of any settlement, so the firm tracks what those benefits covered from the first month. Photographs of a fall site and the maintenance log for it are gathered early for the same reason.

The Injury Claims the Firm Takes From Summerside

A car accident on Route 2 or Water Street East is the most common file, and every Island auto policy carries Section B benefits that pay treatment and part of your lost income regardless of who was at fault. The firm also takes trip and fall claims on uncleared walkways, dog bite claims, long-term disability denials, fire loss disputes and fatal accident claims. Prince Edward Island work at this firm is personal injury only.

Charlottetown Is Where a Prince County Injury Action Is Filed

The Supreme Court of Prince Edward Island keeps registries in Charlottetown and in Summerside, and the Summerside registry holds small claims and family files started there. A personal injury action is filed at the Sir Louis Henry Davies Law Courts, 42 Water Street in Charlottetown, and the firm handles the filing and the procedural steps that follow.

Two Years, and a Minor Injury Cap That Has to Be Checked

The Statute of Limitations gives two years to start a personal injury action, subject to discoverability and to the clock not running against a child. On a motor vehicle file the second question is the province’s minor injury cap, which limits pain and suffering damages where the injury fits the regulation. Both are answered on the first call. Contact the firm or call to get them answered. Intake is free and there is no fee unless the claim succeeds.
