Personal Injury Lawyers in New Hampshire

If you’ve been injured in an accident in New Hampshire, you should first prioritize your health and safety. Seek immediate medical attention by calling 911 or visiting the nearest hospital if your injuries are serious. Even if injuries appear minor, schedule a medical evaluation to document them. Some symptoms may not show right away, and it’s better to be safe than sorry. Plus, medical records serve as important evidence when pursuing compensation for your injuries.

Notify the police and file an official accident report. New Hampshire law requires a report for accidents involving injury, death, or significant property damage. For incidents like slip-and-falls or workplace injuries, inform the property owner, manager, or employer immediately to ensure the incident is documented.

If you are able, take pictures of the accident scene, visible injuries, damaged property, and anything that may have contributed to the accident, such as hazards or poor lighting. Collect names and contact details of any witnesses, and if another party is involved, obtain their name, contact information, insurance details, and vehicle information (if applicable).

Report the accident to your insurance company as soon as possible. Provide the necessary details but avoid making detailed statements about fault or injuries until consulting an attorney.

That’s where Morgan & Morgan’s New Hampshire office comes in. Our lawyers understand New Hampshire’s specific laws and regulations and can help you navigate the complex legal process.

New Hampshire operates under a fault-based system for car accidents. You can seek compensation through:

• The at-fault party’s insurance.
• Your own insurance (if applicable).
• Filing a personal injury lawsuit.

The amount of time you have to file a personal injury claim, known as the statute of limitations, varies by state and the specifics of your case. However, some exceptions may apply, such as in cases involving minors, government entities, or when the injury wasn’t discovered right away.

It's important to file your claim as soon as possible to preserve your legal rights. Failing to file within the statute of limitations could result in your case being dismissed, meaning you may lose the opportunity to recover compensation for your injuries.

Since deadlines can vary by state and situation, it's best to consult with a personal injury attorney as soon as possible after the incident to understand the specific timeline for your case. An attorney can help ensure your claim is filed correctly and on time.

If you’ve been injured in an accident in New Hampshire, you may be entitled to various forms of compensation to help you recover from your losses. The amount and types of compensation depend on the details of your case, including the severity of your injuries, the impact on your life, and the circumstances of the accident. 

Economic Damages

These are tangible losses with clear monetary values:

• Medical Expenses:
  • Hospital stays, surgeries, and emergency room visits.
  • Ongoing treatments, physical therapy, and rehabilitation.
  • Prescription medications and medical equipment (e.g., wheelchairs or prosthetics).
  • Future medical expenses related to the injury.
• Lost Wages:
  • Compensation for income lost due to your inability to work while recovering.
  • Includes time missed for doctor’s appointments and therapy sessions.
• Loss of Earning Capacity:
  • If your injuries prevent you from returning to work or reduce your ability to earn a living, you may be entitled to damages for diminished earning potential.
• Property Damage:
  • For motor vehicle accidents or other cases involving damaged personal property, you can recover repair or replacement costs.

Non-Economic Damages

These damages compensate for intangible losses that don’t have a direct monetary value:

• Pain and Suffering:
  • Physical pain and discomfort caused by your injuries.
  • Includes both short-term and chronic pain.
• Emotional Distress:
  • Anxiety, depression, PTSD, or other mental health challenges resulting from the accident.
• Loss of Enjoyment of Life:
  • If the injury prevents you from enjoying activities or hobbies you previously enjoyed, you may recover damages for this loss.
• Loss of Consortium:
  • Compensation for how the injury has affected your relationships with your spouse or family members.

Punitive Damages

In rare cases, you may be awarded punitive damages. These are intended to punish the at-fault party for egregious or reckless behavior, such asdrunk driving or gross negligence. Punitive damages are less common and are awarded at the court’s discretion.

Wrongful Death Damages

If the accident resulted in the loss of a loved one, the family may pursue a wrongful death claim. Compensation may include:

• Funeral and burial expenses.
• Loss of financial support the deceased would have provided.
• Emotional pain and suffering caused by the loss of a loved one.

Factors That Influence Compensation

The amount you can recover depends on:

• Severity of Injuries: More severe injuries generally result in higher compensation.
• Evidence: Medical records, accident reports, and witness statements strengthen your case.

Comparative Negligence: New Hampshire follows a modified comparative negligence rule. You can recover compensation as long as you are less than 51% at fault. However, your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault.
