Shediac Lawyers for Injury and Criminal Cases

Shediac’s population multiplies every summer, and its legal work follows the same curve. Mike Murphy Law Group takes injury claims and criminal charges out of the town, and the Shediac lawyers responsible work from the Moncton office, twenty five minutes back along Route 15. Files run by phone and video, in French or English, and counsel attends court in person whenever the date requires it.

Shediac Matters Are Called in Moncton

Charges and lawsuits from Shediac proceed in Moncton: the Provincial Court of New Brunswick for criminal matters, and the Court of King’s Bench for the Moncton judicial district for civil claims brought under the Judicature Act. We confirm the exact courtroom from your summons before your first appearance, and either court will sit in French on election.

Summer Multiplies the Injury Claims

Route 15 carries the traffic to Parlee Beach and the collisions that come with it. The limitation period stays two years regardless of season, and out-of-province visitors face added conflict-of-law questions we resolve at intake. There is no hospital in Shediac itself; treatment records typically come from the two Moncton hospitals and the local clinics. On the water, a boat accident in Shediac Bay brings federal maritime rules into an ordinary negligence claim, which changes both deadlines and defendants. Cottage country adds occupiers’ liability: a guest hurt on a deck or a dock has a claim against the property’s insurer, and the trip and fall page sets out how those cases run.

The Criminal Side of a Resort Town

The RCMP polices Shediac, and the seasonal pattern is predictable: impaired driving enforcement peaks with the tourist traffic. If you are stopped, provide your documents and nothing more, then call counsel before answering questions. The DUI page covers that charge in detail and the assault page covers the other file summer reliably produces.

What Shediac Lawyers Need to Open a File

The date, the place and whatever paperwork already exists, which for a summer collision is usually a police file number and an insurer’s claim number. The file is then run from the Moncton office, and counsel attends the Moncton Law Courts on the dates that need a lawyer there. Contact the firm or call.
