New Hampshire Bone Fracture Attorneys

Damages

When a person is physically injured by another’s carelessness or negligence, they have the option to seek compensation for their injury, in the form of monetary damages. Damages are awarded by the court to the injured person if they prevail in the case and prove that their injury was the direct result of the other person’s negligence.

There are two types of damages: economic and non-economic. Economic damages compensate the hard financial losses incurred as a result of your injury. This includes medical expenses and lost wages. In the case of a complex bone fracture, medical expenses may include surgery, casts/braces, and physical therapy to regain strength. Non-economic damages compensate losses more abstract in nature, such as physical pain, suffering, trauma, disability, disfigurement, or loss of a limb.

Many states have placed a limit on non-economic damages in personal injury cases, which can sometimes reach incredibly high amounts. The state of New Hampshire, however, imposes no limit on non-economic damages. Attempts to create damage caps have always been shot down by the New Hampshire Supreme Court, which has found them to be unconstitutional.

Tort Law

Personal injury is a subset of tort law. ‘Tort’ is a French word, best translated to “mistake” or “wrongdoing.” This body of law allows an injured party to litigate the mistake that caused their injury, provided there is proof that the other party made a mistake, failed to act, or was willfully negligent. Tort law encompasses medical mistakes, work injuries, and automobile and motorcycle accidents, among many other types of legal wrongdoings.

Deadlines to File

A statute of limitations applies in New Hampshire personal injury cases. It is in the interest of anyone considering filing a claim to know that there is a 3-year statute of limitations to do so. This means that a person with multiple complex bone fractures in New Hampshire has 3 years from the time of their injury to hire a lawyer and get their claim filed. Bear in mind, it can take time for an attorney to investigate your claim and build your case – so the sooner you speak with an attorney, the better.

If a claim misses this deadline, the defendant responsible for the injury could cite the missed deadline as a defense against the suit. You do not want to give them that opportunity if you want to receive rightful compensation for the multiple bone fractures you suffered. This is why it is incredibly important that you contact our New Hampshire personal injury attorneys immediately so they can begin building your case.
