Happy Valley-Goose Bay Lawyers for Labrador Injury Claims

Happy Valley-Goose Bay is the court, hospital and airport town for central Labrador, and Mike Murphy Law Group takes injury claims from the town and the coast it serves. The file is run from the St. John’s office. Retainers and consents are signed electronically, meetings run on video, and counsel flies in when a court date needs a lawyer present. Nothing about the claim requires you to leave Labrador.

Happy Valley-Goose Bay Lawyers Build the Claim on Labrador Health Centre Records

The Labrador Health Centre treats most injuries in the region, and its chart starts the file. Where a patient was flown out, the receiving hospital in St. John’s adds a second record, and the medevac documentation itself becomes evidence of how serious the first hours were. Clinic notes, employment records and photographs from the scene are requested under the same consent. Where treatment continued in St. John’s for months, the travel and accommodation it took are part of the claim and are documented as they are incurred.

Labrador’s Judicial Centre Sits in the Town

The Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador, General Division, operates its Labrador judicial centre from Happy Valley-Goose Bay, on Hamilton River Road. A civil injury action from central Labrador is filed and heard there. Sittings are published by the courts of Newfoundland and Labrador, and the firm handles the filing and every step short of your own evidence. The office also acts for people from North West River, Sheshatshiu and the coastal communities that use the town for court and for hospital.

The Claims Labrador Sends

A snowmobile accident on the trail network and a car accident on Hamilton River Road or the Trans-Labrador Highway are the two files the region produces most. The office also runs ATV accident claims, trip and fall claims and long-term disability denials.

Two Years to Start a Labrador Injury Action

The Limitations Act gives a personal injury action two years, subject to discoverability, and the period does not run while the claimant is a minor. Where a workplace injury is covered by WorkplaceNL a worker cannot sue the employer, though a claim may still lie against a third party outside the scheme. Contact the firm or call. A lawyer answers the same day. Intake is free and there is no fee unless the claim succeeds.
