Our personal injury lawyers will sealously advocate on your behalf, so you can focus on your recovery.
Melanson Law is a personal injury law firm built around one purpose: Representing injured people. We do not act for insurance companies or defendants. Every case we take on is on behalf of someone who has been hurt and needs compensation for their injuries.
Our team of personal injury lawyers in New Brunswick takes the time to understand your specific situation. We know that no two injury claims are alike. What happened, where it happened, how it has affected your work, your family, and your daily life: All of it matters. We build our approach around those specifics to ensure your claim addresses every aspect.
Our Miramichi personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. There are no upfront legal fees, and you pay no fees at all unless we successfully recover compensation for you. We believe access to quality legal representation should not depend on your financial situation.
Insurance companies have dedicated legal teams and adjusters whose job is to minimize what they pay out. A personal injury law firm like Melanson Law gives you the experienced representation and resources to push back, through negotiation, and in court when necessary.
Personal injury cases can arise from a wide range of circumstances, and the legal issues involved vary significantly from one situation to the next. The personal injury lawyers at Melanson Law handle personal injury work for clients across Miramichi and Northumberland County. Below are the types of accidents and injuries our team regularly helps with:
Motor vehicle accidents are among the most common causes of serious injury on New Brunswick roads, and the claims process is rarely simple. Whether the collision involved a distracted driver, a commercial truck, or an icy stretch of highway, an injury claim after a car accident can become complicated quickly. Insurance companies move fast to limit their exposure, which is why having a personal injury lawyer involved early makes a real difference. We deal with the insurance company on your behalf and work to ensure your injury claim reflects the true extent of your losses.
Slip and fall injury claims require timely action. Evidence, including surveillance footage, maintenance logs, and witness statements, can disappear quickly. If you were injured on someone else’s property due to an unsafe condition, our team can assess whether you have a viable injury claim and what the best path forward looks like. Property owners have real obligations to keep their premises safe. When they fall short, they can be held accountable for slip and falls.
Medical malpractice claims are among the most complex personal injury cases our team handles. If you or a family member received substandard care and suffered harm as a result, we can help you assess whether you can bring a claim. Medical malpractice cases require expert medical evidence and specialized legal knowledge. Our team has the experience and relationships with medical experts necessary to champion these claims.
When a loved one has been killed due to someone else’s negligence, surviving family members may be entitled to compensation for financial losses, loss of guidance and companionship, and more. Our team handles fatal accidents and wrongful death claims with the thoroughness and sensitivity these situations demand.
Motorcyclists may face bias from insurance companies and adjusters after an accident. Our lawyers know how to address that bias and build a strong, fact-based case for compensation. If you were injured in a motorcycle accident in or around Miramichi, we can help you navigate the process and pursue a fair result. Contact Melanson Law for claims regarding motorcycle accidents today.
A physical or sexual assault can result in lasting physical and psychological harm. Even where a criminal proceeding is underway, you may have separate grounds to pursue a civil injury claim against those responsible. Regarding sexual assaults, our team can walk you through your options and help you decide on the right course of action.
Pedestrians and cyclists are among the most vulnerable people on the road. When struck by a vehicle, the injuries are often serious and the recovery long. Our team is experienced in handling claims for pedestrian and cyclist accidents and will work to make sure the full impact of your injuries is reflected in any compensation recovered.
Privacy violation claims, including the non-consensual sharing of intimate images, unlawful surveillance, and the wrongful disclosure of personal information, can cause real and lasting harm. Privacy violations cases require a personal injury lawyer who understands this evolving area of law. If you believe your privacy has been seriously violated, contact us to discuss your options.
Types of Injuries
Our team has experience handling claims involving a wide range of injuries, including:
We understand that injuries can have long-term impacts, and we work to ensure all aspects of your damages are considered.
To succeed in a personal injury claim, three key elements must be established:
1
Proving that another party was at fault for your injury
2
Demonstrating the losses you have suffered (medical expenses, lost income, etc.)
3
Our personal injury lawyers carefully build each element of your case and ensure that each element is clearly supported by evidence.

After receiving a denial for the first claim, my wife wanted to use an attorney for this next one. We had no idea which group to go with until I noticed Jack. Upon seeing how many cases he has worked, definitely showed his experience. When my wife said that he is a former Marine Officer, we did not need or want to look any farther. We started doing some research on his law firm and discovered that his son Ned worked with Jack. My wife filled out the form on their site, and Ned called us back around 10 minutes later. Ned gave us a good foundation of what to expect going forward. He also stated that his father Jack would contact us shortly. From the first conversation with Ned, then Jack, the entire focus was that we will be taken care of by them. Jack actually told me to not stress anymore, that both he and Ned (their team as well) will take care of everything. The crazy thing was, I totally relaxed. Not that I didn't believe Jack, but with his professional manor, experience and knowledge, I knew that Jack would take care of everything for myself and my family. We are so blessed to have had them representing us for the hearing and guiding use through this process. The biggest news was that, two days before the scheduled hearing, we were notified that our case had been reviewed by the administrative law judge and we had a favorable decision. We realize that every case is different. However, Jack and Ned were always professional, prompt in all of their communications with us and thorough in explaining the disability process. Bottom line - Jack and Ned are hands one of the best decisions we ever made. We are happy to have had the privilege to work with them and will always highly recommend them to others.

Thinking about pursuing a personal injury claim? Here is some information to consider.
The amount of compensation available in a personal injury claim depends on the specific facts of your case. There is no universal answer, and any figure offered early in the process, before the full picture is known, should be treated as preliminary.
That said, compensation in New Brunswick personal injury matters typically can be divided into a few categories: General damages cover pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. Special damages cover quantifiable financial losses: Medical and rehabilitation costs, lost income, and out-of-pocket expenses directly tied to the injury. Loss of valuable services covers the replacement cost for chores that can no longer be done in or around the home. Cost of care covers any medication, treatment, or other care costs that have been or will be required.
The best way to get a complete picture of what your injury claim may be worth is to speak with one of our lawyers directly. We offer a free consultation with no obligation, so you can get real information about your situation before committing to anything.
At Melanson Law, we work on a contingency fee basis. That means there are no upfront costs and no hourly charges. You pay no fees unless we recover compensation for you.
If your case is successful, our fee is a percentage of the amount recovered. That percentage is agreed upon clearly before we begin any work, so there are no surprises. If we do not recover compensation for you, you owe us nothing for our legal services.
This model exists because cost should not prevent someone from getting the legal help they need after an injury. It also aligns our interests directly with yours; we succeed when you do. If you have questions about fees or what to expect from the process, book a free consultation with our team. The Miramichi personal injury lawyers at Melanson Law are happy to walk you through everything with no pressure and no obligation.
Compensation may include medical expenses, lost income, future care costs, and damages for pain and suffering. Each case is unique, and the amount depends on your specific circumstances.
Even minor injuries can develop into more serious conditions over time. Consulting with a personal injury lawyer ensures your rights are protected and helps you avoid settling too quickly.
Getting started is simple. Contact our office to schedule a free consultation. We will review your case, explain your options, and guide you through the next steps.
