Salem, NH Personal Injury Lawyer
Muggeo & Associates represents people injured in Salem, New Hampshire, including the many Massachusetts residents who drive, shop and work just over the border. Salem’s highway traffic and busy retail corridor create real injury risks, and New Hampshire law handles those claims differently than Massachusetts does.
Where Salem Injuries Happen
I-93 runs through Salem with exits at the Massachusetts line and in the center of town, and the widened highway carries heavy commuter and truck traffic between the Merrimack Valley and Manchester. Route 28 (South Broadway) and Route 97 are lined with shopping centers, restaurants and the Tuscan Village and Mall at Rockingham Park area, bringing constant turning traffic, parking-lot crashes and pedestrian injuries. Tax-free shopping draws large crowds from Massachusetts, especially on weekends and during the holidays.

- Car accidents on I-93, Route 28 and Route 97

Where a Salem, NH Case Is Filed

Massachusetts Drivers in a New Hampshire Crash
If you live in Massachusetts and were hurt in Salem, New Hampshire law usually governs fault and damages, but your Massachusetts auto policy may still provide coverage, including Personal Injury Protection and uninsured motorist benefits. New Hampshire does not require every driver to carry liability insurance, so checking your own coverage early matters. Read more on our New Hampshire personal injury page.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file a claim for a Salem, NH accident?
Most New Hampshire personal injury actions must be filed within three years, but some defendants, such as public entities, have shorter notice requirements. Get advice early.
Can I still recover if I was partly at fault?
Possibly. New Hampshire uses modified comparative fault, which reduces recovery by your share of fault and bars it if your fault is greater than that of the parties you are suing.
