Corner Brook Lawyers for West Coast Injury Claims

Mike Murphy Law Group takes injury claims from Corner Brook and the Bay of Islands and runs them from the St. John’s office, seven hours east on the Trans-Canada. The first call is free and a lawyer takes it. Retainers and records consents are signed electronically and meetings run on video, so the distance costs you nothing. Counsel travels west when a court date needs a lawyer standing there.

Corner Brook Lawyers File and Argue on the West Coast

Corner Brook is a full court centre, which most towns the firm serves are not. The Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador, General Division, runs a judicial centre at the courthouse on Mount Bernard Avenue, so a west coast injury action is filed and heard on the west coast instead of in St. John’s. Sitting schedules are published by the courts of Newfoundland and Labrador. The firm handles the filing, the service and the steps between. A client attends for discovery and for trial.

Western Memorial Regional Hospital Holds the Medical Record

The hospital chart from Western Memorial is the spine of the claim. Your family doctor and your employer supply what it does not show, which is how the injury changed function and income. Everything is requested under one written consent, and the claim is not valued until treatment has run far enough to price the future rather than only the past.

The Claims the Humber Valley Produces

A car accident on the Trans-Canada or Lewin Parkway is the most common file. A snowmobile accident in the country behind Marble Mountain is the winter one. The office also runs trip and fall claims, long-term disability denials and fire loss disputes where a home or a business has burned. A fire loss claim runs against your own insurer instead of a wrongdoer, so it turns on the policy wording, the proof of loss and the adjuster’s file.

Two Years to Start a West Coast Injury Action

The Limitations Act gives a personal injury action two years, subject to discoverability, and the clock does not run while the claimant is a minor. West coast files often reach a lawyer late, so the start date is the first thing settled on the call. Contact the firm or call. A lawyer answers the same day. Intake is free and there is no fee unless the claim succeeds.
