Premises Liability Attorneys in New Hampshire

Injuries Caused by the Negligence of Property Owners

You want attorneys who understand the different types of slip and fall accidents and can help you in getting a recovery. Insurance carriers for supermarkets, convenience stores, and other companies are very aggressive about trying to avoid responsibility for slip and fall accidents. You need an attorney who can help you deal with injuries from falling because of ice and snow and other hazardous conditions.

Remember, property owners have a duty and a responsibility to maintain their premises in a safe condition. If they fail to do so, you need an attorney who can help you achieve a recovery for a property owner’s failure to be responsible in maintaining their property.

For example, you could be walking into a supermarket early in the morning after a snow fall or after freezing rain has fallen. Sometimes supermarkets hire plow contractors to salt and sand the premises. If they didn’t get there in time for the store’s opening, you could be experiencing a hazardous condition when you walk into the supermarket. Many clients have been injured under circumstances like this, and then it becomes the responsibility of the plowing contractor or the supermarket to take care of the person injured because of their negligence.

Were You Injured Because of Someone’s Negligence?

Most personal-injury claims are based on a legal concept known as “negligence.” Negligence is a concept not defined by a state or federal statute, but by what is known as the “common law.” Essentially, common law is legal principles developed through centuries of court decisions. Negligence is the failure to use reasonable care.

A shopkeeper might be negligent if he fails to clear ice from the walkway in front of his store and a customer slips and falls. If a driver rear ends you because he was looking at his phone and not paying attention to the road, he also might be negligent.

In New Hampshire. the legal elements of a “negligence” claim are similar or identical to other states.

    No. Our law firm offers free case evaluations to everyone in New Hampshire and throughout New England—it costs you nothing to meet with us to learn more about how lawyers and so we can learn more about you and your case.

  • What do I do after an accident?

    If you’ve been injured in an accident, whether it’s a car crash or after slipping on a wet surface, your priority should be getting medical attention for your injuries—even if your injuries are minor or you’re not feeling any immediate pain. From there, we recommend documenting as much of your accident as possible, from taking photos of the property damage to gathering witness contact information, and then calling our firm to get started on your case. We can begin investigating your accident quickly to ensure important evidence doesn’t disappear over time.

  • How is a wrongful death claim different from a personal injury claim?

    Victims of accidents who survive can file personal injury claims, but when they die in their accidents or later pass away from their injuries, their surviving family members or those who were financially dependent on them can file wrongful death claims. Wrongful death claims can recover most of the damages that personal injury claims recover, including medical bills, lost wages, and property damage, but they can also recover some of the damages the family members incurred, including funeral and burial bills and loss of companionship.

  • What should I say if an insurance adjuster calls me?

    Shortly after an accident, you may receive a phone call from an insurance adjuster. While they may sound nice and say they simply want to understand what happened, insurance adjusters often try to coax certain statements from you so they can limit the amount of liability that falls on their insured. It’s important to get legal representation as soon as possible so your lawyer can handle these calls and you don’t have to risk saying something that may harm your case.

  • How long do I have to file my personal injury claim?

    It’s important for victims to know that they don’t have all the time in the world to file a personal injury lawsuit. The amount of time you have to file a claim depends on the state where the accident and injuries occurred. For example, New Hampshire’s statute of limitations is three years, meaning victims have three years from the date of injury to file a claim successfully. Hiring a personal injury attorney can be beneficial because they understand their state’s various laws, including those governing filing deadlines.
