How personal injury claims work in New Hampshire
The 3-year deadline, the discovery rule, the 51 percent fault bar, damages, wrongful death caps and government claims, explained for both sides.
ABOUT THIS BOOK
After an injury, two questions come first: how long is there to act, and does the injured person's own fault matter? New Hampshire answers both with specific statutes.
The New Hampshire Personal Injury Guide explains how injury claims work under state law. It covers the general 3-year statute of limitations under RSA 508:4 and the discovery rule, modified comparative fault and the 51 percent bar under RSA 507:7-d, and how damages are apportioned when a defendant is less than 50 percent at fault.
The guide explains economic and non-economic damages and notes that New Hampshire generally does not cap pain and suffering in most cases. It also covers:
• Wrongful death caps of $500,000 for a spouse's loss of companionship and $300,000 per claimant for loss of a familial relationship
• Claims against the state, with a 180-day notice rule and caps of $475,000 per claimant and $3,750,000 per incident
• Caps for claims against cities and towns
• Discovery, alternative dispute resolution and summary jury trials in Superior Court
Written for both injured people and defendants or insurers, it ends with checklists, tables, a glossary and sample letters. Legal information, not legal advice.

QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU BUY
New Hampshire personal injury statute of limitations: what to know before you order.
Straight answers about what the guide is, what it covers and how it reaches you.
How long is there to file an injury lawsuit in New Hampshire?
Generally three years from the act or omission that caused the harm. Under the discovery rule, the clock may start when the injury and its cause were or should have been discovered. The guide explains both.
Can someone partly at fault still recover in New Hampshire?
Yes, if their fault is not greater than the defendant's. Damages are reduced by their share of fault, and recovery is barred at 51 percent or more. The guide explains how this works.
Is this legal advice?
No. It is legal information in plain language, cited to the law, so you understand your options and know what to ask. Reading it creates no attorney-client relationship.
Is it written for New Hampshire?
Yes. This guide is written for New Hampshire law and cites the New Hampshire statutes and rules it relies on. If your case is in another state, choose that state's edition.
