Personal injury is a field of tort law. It is a system in which victims can hold defendants accountable for reckless and negligent wrongdoings. People and businesses owe each other a standard of care when out and about in the world. Whether it’s a dry floor not to slip on or safe driving roads where nobody is speeding or operating their vehicle illegally, we owe it to each other to keep everyone safe.

A personal injury claim is a civil lawsuit seeking to hold someone financially and legally responsible for a victim’s damages. Someone might be liable for another person’s injuries in New Hampshire if that person was negligent, reckless, careless or malicious in causing them. If you believe you have a personal injury claim in Nashua, our lawyers can break down all the laws that may apply to your case.
Fault-based car accident laws. If you were in a car accident, know that New Hampshire is a fault state. You can hold the at-fault party liable for your injuries and damages.
Modified comparative negligence rule. The state’s comparative negligence rule states that as long as a plaintiff is less than 51% at fault for his or her injuries, the plaintiff may still recover compensation.
Statute of limitations. This is a legal deadline requiring all plaintiffs to file within three years of their accidents. Missing this time limit means the courts will most likely refuse to hear your case.

Breach of care
Causation
Damages
