Were you hurt in a car wreck, slip and fall, or any other injury in Manchester? New Hampshire gives you three years from the date of the injury to file a claim under RSA § 508:4. New Hampshire follows a modified comparative fault rule. If an insurer proves you were 51% or more at fault, you may lose your right to compensation. Call Alexander Shunnarah Trial Attorneys today.

New Hampshire Laws That May Affect Your Case

In New Hampshire, the personal injury statute of limitations is three years. NH Rev Stat § 508:4 sets that deadline. The countdown begins on the day of your accident. If you miss that deadline, then the courts have every right to dismiss the claim.

New Hampshire follows a modified comparative fault rule under NH Rev Stat § 507:7-d. This means that responsibility for an accident could be split between the parties involved. If your share is 50% or less, your recovery is reduced by that amount. But if an insurer pushes that number to 51% or higher, then your claim is barred entirely.

Unfortunately, insurance adjusters use this rule to their advantage. They may argue that you were speeding or distracted. Our attorneys fight to protect what you’re owed.

Did your accident involve a city vehicle, a road defect on a public street, or government-owned property? Then you must file your case within a shorter deadline. Under NH Rev Stat § 507-B:7, claims against New Hampshire municipalities require written notice within 60 days of the accident.

That is only two months, not three years. Don’t risk your case because of a deadline. Book a free case review with an attorney.

Why Accidents Happen on Manchester’s Roads

Sitting on the Merrimack River, Manchester is New Hampshire’s largest city. Manchester’s highways carry some of the state’s most concentrated traffic. According to the New Hampshire Department of Transportation (NHDOT), New Hampshire experienced 135 crash deaths in 2024. Common accident sites in Manchester include Interstate 293, Interstate 93, and Beech Street.

Interstate 293 (I-293), or the Everett Turnpike, runs through central Manchester. It’s one of the most documented crash corridors in the state. This stretch is very dangerous with limited merging opportunities and traffic. Plus, many motorcyclists have lost their lives on the highway’s infamous S-curves

Interstate 93 is one of the deadliest highways in New Hampshire. Heavy commuter and commercial traffic meet near Manchester. Speeding, impaired driving, and wrong-way entries often cause fatal crashes.

Beech Street and Cilley Road is Manchester’s most crash-prone intersection. Residential and commercial traffic combine here. Plus, quick turns, poor visibility, and pedestrians regularly trigger accidents.

After an accident in Manchester, memories fade, witnesses disappear, and roads are repaired. You need an attorney to protect your case from the beginning. Book a free case review today.

Common Questions About Filing Claims in New Hampshire

As a Manchester resident, you know that the unexpected could quickly become a legal challenge. These are the most common questions we receive about injury claims, disputes, and attorneys.

In New Hampshire, you have three years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury claim. The countdown begins the day you were hurt. Three years move more quickly than you may expect. The best thing you can do is to hire an attorney.

Your first meeting is an obligation-free case review, not a commitment. You and your attorney will walk through what happened, when it happened, and the aftermath. Bring any documents you have, too. The attorney will explain your legal options.

You pay nothing up front to hire a personal injury attorney. Many law firms, including Alexander Shunnarah Trial Attorneys, work on a contingency fee basis. You only pay if we win a settlement or verdict in your favor.

Your health and safety are the most important things. Get medical attention first, even if you feel fine. Plus, you should document the accident as much as you can. Don’t give a recorded statement to any insurance adjuster before talking to an attorney. Anything you say could be used to shift blame onto you.
