Quispamsis Lawyers for Injury and Criminal Cases

Quispamsis and Rothesay together make up the Kennebecasis Valley, a commuter belt with no courthouse and no hospital of its own. Mike Murphy Law Group takes injury claims and criminal charges from the town, and the Quispamsis lawyers handling them work from the Saint John office, twenty minutes down Route 1. Most of the work happens by phone and video, and where a court appearance needs counsel standing there, counsel stands there.

Where a Quispamsis Matter Gets Heard

Court for the Kennebecasis Valley is mainly in Saint John. Criminal charges are typically called at the Saint John Law Courts on Peel Plaza, and an injury lawsuit is filed in the Court of King’s Bench for the Saint John judicial district. Some Kings County matters sit in Hampton instead, and we confirm the courtroom on the first review of your paperwork rather than leaving you to guess.

The Injury Claim, From Gondola Point to Trial

New Brunswick’s Limitation of Actions Act sets a two-year limit on most claims. Hospital records for valley residents normally come from the Saint John Regional Hospital, and we request them along with family doctor and physio charts. A car accident on Route 1 or Hampton Road starts with Section B benefits from your own policy, then moves against the at-fault driver’s insurer. Physio and clinic charts from the valley’s own providers round out the hospital record, and gaps in treatment are the first thing an insurer points at, so we flag them before the insurer does.

What Quispamsis Lawyers Do with a Criminal Charge

Quispamsis is policed by the Kennebecasis Regional Police Force, which it shares with Rothesay. A charge laid in the valley still runs through the Crown’s disclosure, and nothing gets decided before we have read it. Because almost everyone here drives into Saint John for work, a driving prohibition imposed as a release condition does more damage than the charge itself, and varying it is usually the first application brought. Two of the more common files are covered on the theft page and the DUI page.

A File That Follows a Valley Commuter

The file is run from the Saint John office, which valley commuters pass on Route 1 without ever needing to stop, and it stays with you if work moves you out of the area. Counsel attends Peel Plaza, or Hampton where the matter is listed there, on the dates that require a lawyer. Contact the firm or call.
