How Our Personal Injury Lawyers Support the Injured in Manchester, NH

Suffering an injury in an accident triggers a whirlwind of challenges. Physical pain, mounting medical bills, and the complexity of navigating the claims process can leave you feeling overwhelmed. Here’s how we help:

  • Free Case Evaluation. Our attorneys begin by meticulously reviewing your accident. Examining police reports from agencies like the Manchester Police Department, medical records, and other pertinent evidence allows us to understand the full scope of your case.
  • Handling Insurance Communications. Insurance companies often pressure victims into quick settlements that undervalue their claims. We take on all communications with insurers, ensuring your rights are safeguarded while you focus on recovery.
  • Gathering Evidence. Strong cases rely on compelling evidence. We’ll collect photos, witness statements, and any available video footage from accident sites to build a comprehensive case.
  • Calculating Compensation. Accurately valuing your claim involves an in-depth analysis of economic and non-economic damages. This includes bills for treatment, lost wages from time missed at area employers, and the pain and suffering associated with your injuries.
  • Navigating New Hampshire Laws. New Hampshire’s comparative negligence rules can complicate claims. If you’re partially at fault, it can reduce the settlement you receive. Our attorneys devise a strategy to strengthen your case under these rules.
  • Representation in Negotiations & Court. Whether negotiating with an insurance adjuster or presenting your case at the Hillsborough County Superior Court-North, we advocate assertively to pursue the outcome you deserve.
  • Trial Preparation. While many personal injury matters are resolved through settlements, others may proceed to litigation. If that happens, we’re prepared to present your case to a jury with clarity and precision.

  3. Tailored Legal Strategies. We create personalized legal plans informed by New Hampshire’s legal standards for personal injury claims.

Do I Have a Valid Personal Injury Claim in Manchester? 

New Hampshire law requires that certain conditions are met to bring forward a successful personal injury case. The elements of a valid claim include:

  • Duty of Care. The responsible party (e.g., another driver, business owner, or product manufacturer) owed you a duty to act with reasonable care.
  • Breach of Duty. Their negligence or reckless actions breached this duty.
  • Causation.  The breach directly caused your injuries.
  • Damages.  You suffered measurable financial or non-financial losses as a result.  

Comparative negligence may play a role in Manchester claims. For instance, a slip-and-fall victim downtown might face scrutiny regarding what they were doing at the time of the fall. We assist by investigating and documenting circumstances that establish the at-fault party’s primary responsibility.

Frequently Asked Questions 

How long will it take to resolve my personal injury case?

Some claims are settled within a few months, especially if liability is clear and injuries are straightforward. Cases requiring extensive investigation or litigation can take a year or more.

What types of compensation can I recover?

Compensation typically falls into two categories: Economic damages like medical bills and lost wages, and non-economic damages for pain and emotional distress.

What happens if I share some fault for the accident?

New Hampshire follows a modified comparative negligence system. If you are partially at fault, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. If you’re more than 50% at fault, you cannot recover damages.

What is New Hampshire’s statute of limitations?

You generally have three years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury claim in Manchester. Missing this deadline could prevent you from seeking compensation.
