New Hampshire Personal Injury Lawyer

Muggeo & Associates represents people injured in New Hampshire, including Massachusetts residents hurt while working, shopping, commuting or vacationing across the border. From Salem and Nashua to Manchester, the Seacoast, the Lakes Region and the White Mountains, we help injured people understand how New Hampshire law applies to their claims.

Where New Hampshire Injuries Happen

I-93 through Salem and Windham, the Everett Turnpike and Route 3 in Nashua, I-293 in Manchester and I-95 along the Seacoast carry heavy cross-border traffic. Route 28 in Salem and the retail corridors in Nashua bring constant turning traffic and parking-lot crashes. Northern New Hampshire’s ski areas, lakes and mountain roads add ski and snowboard accidents, boating accidents and motorcycle crashes.

How New Hampshire Law Differs From Massachusetts

Filing deadline: Most New Hampshire personal injury actions must be brought within three years (RSA 508:4). Claims against ski areas, public entities and some other defendants have shorter notice or filing requirements.
Shared fault: New Hampshire uses modified comparative fault (RSA 507:7-d). An injured person’s recovery is reduced by his or her share of fault and is barred if that share is greater than the fault of those being sued.
Auto insurance: Unlike Massachusetts, New Hampshire does not require every driver to carry liability insurance, and it has no Personal Injury Protection (PIP) system. Your own uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage and medical payments coverage can matter a great deal after a New Hampshire crash.
Accident reports: Drivers must generally file a written report with the New Hampshire DMV within 15 days of a crash involving injury, death or significant property damage unless police investigated it.

Frequently Asked Questions

I live in Massachusetts but was hurt in New Hampshire. Which state’s law applies?

Usually the law of the state where the accident happened governs the main issues, although insurance questions may depend on where your policy was issued. A Massachusetts auto policy may still provide some coverage for a New Hampshire crash.

The driver who hit me had no insurance. What can I do?

Check your own policy for uninsured motorist coverage, and give your insurer prompt notice. A claim directly against the driver may also be possible.
