New Brunswick has mandatory automobile insurance, that includes some basic coverage under four policy sections (A, B, C, & D). If you have been injured in a motor vehicle accident, you are entitled to different types of compensation and benefits under these policies of insurance.
Slip and fall claims involve accidents resulting from slipping on ice, slipping on water, tripping over a hazard, or having a hazard strike you. These accidents may occur in a store, on a walkway, at someone’s home, or in other areas.
Medical malpractice claims occur when a doctor, or other medical professionals, makes a mistake that results in injury or loss. These claims often require securing evidence and expert opinions early and it is important to consult a lawyer as soon as possible.
Tragically, some accidents can result in death at the time of the accident or after. In New Brunswick, special statutory claims can be brought for a wrongful death or fatal accidents.

If you have been assaulted, you may have a claim for compensation for your injuries. An assault may include hitting, kicking, punching, or pushing.

If you are involved in a collision with a motor vehicle while walking or on a bicycle, you are entitled to coverage for your injuries under the motor vehicle’s insurance policy, regardless of whether you have insurance. If someone else is at fault for the accident, you may be entitled to compensation for treatment and medication expenses, past and future loss of income, general damages for pain and suffering, loss of valuable services, future cost of care, and more.

You ask, we answer
Thinking about pursuing a personal injury claim? Here is some information to consider.
Privacy violation claims differ from more traditional personal injury claims in several important ways. Rather than physical harm, the injury is often psychological, reputational, or financial – and quantifying that harm requires careful legal and evidentiary work.
Privacy law in Canada is still developing, particularly around intentional or negligent invasions of privacy in a digital context. Courts have increasingly recognized that serious breaches, such as the unauthorized sharing of intimate images, covert recording, or the wrongful exposure of private personal information, can give rise to meaningful civil liability, but the legal framework continues to evolve.
This means that a personal injury lawyer handling privacy claims must stay current with emerging case law and understand how to frame the nature and extent of damages in a way courts will recognize. Prompt action is also critical, as digital evidence can disappear quickly. If you believe you have experienced a serious privacy violation, speaking with a personal injury lawyer early gives you the best chance of protecting your rights.
Yes. The fact that an accident occurred on private property does not prevent you from pursuing a personal injury claim. Those responsible for a property, whether private individuals, corporations, or organizations, owe a duty of care to people who enter it. If they fail to take reasonable steps to make the property safe, and someone is injured as a result, a claim may be available regardless of whether the property is privately or publicly owned.
Common examples include injuries on a neighbour’s unsalted driveway or walkway, falls on a privately owned stairway, or accidents at a private event venue. The key question is whether the occupier knew or should have known about the hazard and whether they took adequate steps to address it.
Time limits apply to slip and fall claims under New Brunswick law, so it is important to act quickly. Speaking with a Woodstock personal injury lawyer at Melanson Law as soon as possible after your injury will help preserve critical evidence and protect your right to pursue compensation.
