New Hampshire Personal Injury Leads: Quick Reference

Last updated

Statute of limitations
3 years on most PI under RSA 508:4 (one of a small group of states with 3-year general PI SOL, distinctively longer than neighboring 2-year MA and 2/6-year ME). Discovery rule codified within RSA 508:4: limitations runs from when the plaintiff discovers, or in the exercise of reasonable diligence should have discovered, the injury and its causal relationship. Wrongful death 6 years under RSA 556:11. Minor tolling under RSA 508:8. RSA 507-B governs bodily injury actions against municipalities; the general 3-year RSA 508:4 limit applies. RSA 541-B governs claims against the State
Comparative fault
Modified comparative with 51% bar under RSA 507:7-d. Recovery is permitted if the plaintiff's fault "was not greater than the fault of the defendant"; damages are reduced in proportion to plaintiff fault. Plaintiff 51% or more at fault recovers nothing. Joint and several liability partially abolished under RSA 507:7-e: any defendant less than 50% at fault is severally liable only for that defendant's apportioned share; defendants 50% or more at fault remain jointly and severally liable; J&S preserved for parties who knowingly pursue or take active part in a common plan or design causing the harm
Distinctive
New Hampshire is the only state that does not require most drivers to carry auto liability insurance; drivers must instead prove financial responsibility, with statutory minimums equivalent to 25/50/25. UM/UIM matching when liability is purchased. NH is at-fault tort, not no-fault. NO statutory cap on general PI noneconomic damages. Med-mal noneconomic cap struck down twice as a violation of NH equal-protection principles: Carson v. Maurer, 120 N.H. 925 (1980) ($250K cap struck) and Brannigan v. Usitalo, 134 N.H. 50 (1991) (successor cap struck). NH med-mal pre-suit screening panel under RSA 519-B; certificate-of-merit requirement. Punitive damages STATUTORILY BARRED under RSA 507:16 ("no punitive damages shall be awarded in any action, unless otherwise provided by statute"); NH joins MA, WA, LA, and NE in the small group of no-punitive-damages jurisdictions. RSA 507-B:4 caps municipal liability at $325,000 per person for bodily injury; RSA 541-B caps State tort liability at $475,000 per claimant and $3,750,000 per single incident; punitive damages barred against governmental units. Ouellette v. Blanchard, 116 N.H. 552 (1976) abolished invitee/licensee/trespasser distinctions and adopted unitary "reasonable care under all the circumstances" duty (early adopter alongside CA Rowland and HI Pickard). Open-and-obvious is comparative-fault factor, not complete bar. Ski-area immunity under RSA 225-A:24 codifies skier assumption of inherent risks. Strict-liability dog bite under RSA 466:19
Market
NH recorded 134 traffic fatalities in 2024 (vs 127 in 2023) arising from 120 fatal crashes, up roughly 5% YoY and the fifth-deadliest year on NH highways in twelve years. Fatalities up 42% over the last decade (2014 to 2024); fatality rate up 36% per TRIP. Young-driver deaths tripled: 10 drivers under age 21 killed in 2024 vs 3 in 2023; motorcycle deaths fell from 40 to 33. I-93 is NH's deadliest interstate, averaging roughly six fatal crashes per year (Salem speed enforcement in 2024 cited 20 drivers above 90 mph and 5 above 100 mph). Alcohol-impaired share approximately 36% of NH traffic deaths in 2022 with continued enforcement saturation on I-93, I-95, and Route 125. Top counties (Census 2024): Hillsborough (Manchester, Nashua, ~426,378, 30% of state), Rockingham (Portsmouth, Salem, Derry I-95/MA commuter belt, ~319,082, 23%), Merrimack (Concord state capital, ~155,967), Strafford (Dover, Rochester, Durham, ~133,243), Grafton (Lebanon, Hanover Dartmouth, ~93,146), Cheshire (Keene, ~77,703), Belknap (Laconia Lakes Region, ~65,027), Carroll (Conway, Mt. Washington Valley, ~52,448), Sullivan (Claremont, ~43,969), Coos (Berlin, north country, ~31,372). Four southeastern counties (Hillsborough + Rockingham + Merrimack + Strafford) hold ~74.2% of population. Major commercial corridors: I-93 primary north-south spine Salem-Manchester-Concord-White Mountains (deadliest interstate); I-95 16-mile coastal segment MA line through Portsmouth to Maine (dense Boston-Portland commuter and freight); I-89 Concord-Lebanon-Vermont; US-3 parallels I-93 north of the Notch; US-1 coastal Hampton-Rye-Portsmouth; NH Route 101 principal east-west Manchester-Hampton via Bedford and Exeter; NH Route 125 enforcement-saturation corridor. Dominant insurers (NH 2024 market share): Progressive 15.2%, GEICO 14.2%, State Farm 11.9%, Liberty Mutual 10.1%, Allstate 9.8%; statewide direct written premium grew from ~$1.1B (2023) to ~$1.2B (2024), up 10.8%. Concord Group Insurance Companies (Bedford, NH) is the regional carrier of note (founded 1928, A+ AM Best, 600+ independent agents across NH/ME/MA/VT). Notable 2024 outcomes (Lubin & Meyer reported 39 verdicts/settlements of $1M+ across MA/NH/RI in 2024): $8.5M jury verdict for the family of a NH cyclist killed in a wrongful-death MVA; $7M med-mal settlement; $6.6M verdict for stroke death from inadequate anticoagulation; $3.9M for fatal bowel infarction in a hip-replacement patient; $2M for anoxic brain injury in alcohol rehab; $1.7M for closed-head injury after a bicycle accident. Median compensatory award in NH PI cases that reach trial is approximately $45,000; plaintiffs recover in 63% of tried PI cases

Why New Hampshire Premises & PI Files Have a Long Settlement Runway

New Hampshire is a 1.4-million-resident New England state where the 3-year general PI SOL (RSA 508:4) gives substantially more development runway than neighboring 2-year MA. Ouellette v. Blanchard, 116 N.H. 552 (1976) abolished invitee/licensee/trespasser distinctions and adopted unitary reasonable-care duty (early adopter alongside CA and HI). Punitive damages BARRED under RSA 507:16; NH joins MA, WA, LA, and NE in the no-punitives club. NO statutory cap on PI noneconomic damages (Carson v. Maurer (1980) and Brannigan v. Usitalo (1991) struck down med-mal cap). 51% bar comparative fault (RSA 507:7-d) operates conventionally. The southeastern population concentration drives the bulk of claim volume; Hillsborough, Rockingham (DC commuter belt), Merrimack, and Strafford hold ~74.2% of state population. I-93 is NH's deadliest interstate. Ski-resort and Lakes Region tourism shape distinct premises verticals.

Real Search Intent

Every lead actively typed a legal-intent query into Google. High-intent search converts 15% to 30% for most PI firms, versus 1% to 3% for social-media-sourced leads. Declared intent, not inferred interest.

Exclusive, 1 Firm Per Lead

Never shared. Aggregators sell the same lead to 3 to 5 firms simultaneously, dividing your conversion rate by the same factor. Ours go to one firm only, period.

Pre-Screened

Injured. Unrepresented. Below the 51% bar. Within the 3-year clock. Premises files include surface-condition context. Ski-resort files flagged for RSA 225-A:24 inherent-risks immunity and 90-day notice. Auto files include uninsured-driver flagging.

Coverage

New Hampshire Case Types We Generate

Premises liability and slip and fall are our headline NH category, with steady auto, motorcycle, and ski-resort flow. The featured card below is the most common volume mix our clients buy.

Slip & Fall / Premises Liability

Headline category. Avg case value: $25K to $200K (severe: $500K+)

Big-box and grocery (Walmart, Costco, Target, Hannaford, Market Basket, Shaw's), restaurant, hotel, parking lot, apartment, condominium common areas, and shopping-center files. Ouellette v. Blanchard (N.H. 1976) unitary reasonable-care duty to all entrants under all the circumstances; NH was an early adopter alongside CA Rowland (1968) and HI Pickard (1969). No statutory cap on PI noneconomic; punitives barred (entire verdict is compensatory).

Car Accident (Auto / MVA)

Avg case value: $25K to $175K+

The largest-volume NH PI category. Dedicated state page with 51% bar fault screening, 3-year SOL tracking, uninsured-driver fact-pattern flagging (NH does not require liability insurance), and I-93 / I-95 / I-89 commercial-vehicle FMCSA context capture.

New Hampshire deep dive

Truck & 18-Wheeler

Avg case value: $100K to $5M+

I-93 NH's deadliest interstate (Salem-Manchester-Concord-White Mountains). I-95 16-mi coastal Boston-Portland commuter and freight (~1,700 crashes since 2018). I-89 Concord-Lebanon-Vermont. I-68 cut-through. FMCSA hours-of-service violations and equipment defects support upper-tier values; punitives barred but compensatory damages uncapped.

Wrongful Death

Avg case value: $250K to $5M+

6-year SOL under RSA 556:11 (subject to RSA 508), unusually long for wrongful death. NO punitive damages (RSA 507:16 bar; entire verdict compensatory). NO statutory cap on noneconomic. Bristow Lubin & Meyer reported $8.5M NH cyclist WD verdict in 2024.

Motorcycle

Avg case value: $25K to $200K+

Higher injury severity than standard MVA. NH motorcycle deaths fell from 40 in 2023 to 33 in 2024. NH's rural mountain and lakes-region terrain produces concentrated motorcycle fatality patterns. 51% bar applies to rider conduct allocation.

Rideshare (Uber / Lyft)

Avg case value: $20K to $150K+

TNC platform $1M coverage in Period 2 and 3, driver personal coverage in Period 1, third-party policies. Manchester, Nashua, Portsmouth, and Concord carry steady rideshare volume. UM/UIM matching when liability is purchased.

Dog Bite

Avg case value: $20K to $100K (child cases higher)

Strict liability under RSA 466:19. Owner, keeper, or possessor liable for damages caused by the dog without proof of prior viciousness or owner knowledge. Recovery barred only when injured person was committing trespass or other tort; comparative fault applies for provocation.

Ski-Resort & Winter Sports

Avg case value: $50K to $500K+ (chairlift/tramway: $1M+)

NH's ski industry (Mount Washington Valley, White Mountains, Lakes Region) drives concentrated winter-sports premises files. RSA 225-A:24 codifies skier assumption of inherent risks; 90-day notice required for many claims. Chairlift and tramway claims may fall OUTSIDE the inherent-risks immunity and proceed under standard premises and product-liability theories.

Pedestrian & Bicyclist

Avg case value: $50K to $500K+

Manchester, Nashua, Portsmouth, and Concord urban corridors plus Hampton Beach summer pedestrian volume drive concentrated files. Lubin & Meyer reported $8.5M NH cyclist WD verdict in 2024 and $1.7M closed-head injury bicycle verdict. Ouellette unitary premises duty supports upper-tier outcomes when pedestrian and premises theories overlap.

We focus on cases firms actually want to buy. Med-mal leads can be added on request, but they are not part of our headline coverage despite the absence of any noneconomic cap (the cap was struck down in Carson v. Maurer (1980) and Brannigan v. Usitalo (1991)); RSA 519-B pretrial screening panel and certificate-of-merit requirements apply.

Real Outcomes

Notable New Hampshire Personal Injury Verdicts and Settlements

Selected NH-region premises, auto, motorcycle, and catastrophic-injury outcomes. NH bars punitive damages under RSA 507:16, so the entire verdict is compensatory; many large NH-region matters are tried by Boston-based firms covering MA/NH/RI tri-state. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes.

$8.5M

Wrongful Death / Cyclist

NH Cyclist Wrongful Death (MVA)

$8,500,000 jury verdict for the family of a NH cyclist killed when struck by a vehicle (Lubin & Meyer reported, 2024). Demonstrates upper end of NH jury appetite on cyclist/pedestrian wrongful death; NH's 3-year SOL gives substantial development runway compared to neighboring 2-year MA. NH bars punitive damages under RSA 507:16; entire verdict is compensatory (economic plus noneconomic).

$7M

Med-Mal / Catastrophic

NH-Region Med-Mal Settlement

$7,000,000 settlement obtained during discovery (Lubin & Meyer reported, 2024). Demonstrates med-mal valuation in NH where the noneconomic cap was struck twice (Carson v. Maurer, 1980; Brannigan v. Usitalo, 1991). RSA 519-B pretrial screening panel and certificate-of-merit requirements apply. Med-mal noneconomic damages remain uncapped.

$6.6M

Med-Mal / Wrongful Death

Stroke Death / Inadequate Anticoagulation

$6,600,000 verdict for stroke death from inadequate anticoagulation, on negligence and informed-consent counts (Lubin & Meyer reported, 2024). Demonstrates NH-region med-mal upper end; substantial economic damages drive recovery in the absence of any statutory cap.

$3.9M

Med-Mal / Wrongful Death

Bowel Infarction / Hip Replacement

$3,900,000 for fatal bowel infarction in a 63-year-old hip-replacement patient (Lubin & Meyer reported, 2024). Demonstrates NH-region surgical/post-op complication valuation.

$2M

Med-Mal / Catastrophic

Anoxic Brain Injury / Alcohol Rehab

$2,000,000 for anoxic brain injury to a 22-year-old in alcohol rehab attributed to inappropriate medication combination (Lubin & Meyer reported, 2024). Demonstrates NH-region brain-injury catastrophic valuation. The 51% bar under RSA 507:7-d operates conventionally; J&S abolished for defendants <50% under RSA 507:7-e.

$1.7M

Premises / Bicycle

Closed-Head Injury / Bicycle Accident

$1,700,000 for closed-head injury after a bicycle accident (Lubin & Meyer reported, 2024). Demonstrates NH-region cyclist closed-head injury valuation.
