Bathurst Lawyers for Injury Claims and Criminal Charges

Injury claims and criminal charges from Bathurst are handled by Mike Murphy Law Group, and the Bathurst lawyers assigned to them work from the Moncton office, two and a half hours south on Route 11. The first call is free and a lawyer takes it. 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 the LTD page explains how a denial gets challenged.

Criminal Defence for Bathurst Lawyers’ Clients

The city has its own municipal force, the Bathurst Police Force, with RCMP detachments covering the surrounding villages. Nothing gets decided on a Bathurst charge until the Crown’s disclosure has been produced and read, because the disclosure is what shows whether the file is a trial or a resolution. A charge in Bathurst can be tried in French, and whether to elect French is worth settling before the election is entered. Read the assault page and the DUI page for the province-wide picture on those charges.

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 the firm’s work. The file is run from the Moncton office and counsel attends the Bathurst courthouse on the dates that require a lawyer there. Contact the firm or call.
