Calculating a New Hampshire Personal Injury Settlement

The Law Office of Rich Chamberlain handles all types of injury and accident cases.  A settlement for these types of claims should address the damages that result from an accident.  At our firm, we calculate personal injury settlements by trying to predict what a jury or judge would offer for the claim.

The amount of a personal injury settlement in New Hampshire depends on many different factors, including:

Your attorney also considers what witnesses might say during a trial when he or she is considering what the value of your personal injury settlement should be.  Our law firm works with you to determine a reasonable amount before negotiating with insurance adjusters.

Rich Chamberlain’s extensive experience with injury cases helps our office deal with these types of cases and claims.  The firm approximates personal injury settlements based on our prior experience.

Fault's Role in a Personal Injury Settlement in New Hampshire

Determining a settlement agreement amount also varies based on who was at fault for the accident.  If you were careless, New Hampshire’s comparative negligence law affects your settlement amount.

The law states if you were more than 51 percent at fault for the accident, you cannot collect from an injury lawsuit.  If you cannot collect from a court, your attorney cannot successfully negotiate an injury settlement in New Hampshire on your behalf.

To prove someone else was at fault your attorney must be able to prove the following:

• The person who caused the injury owed you a duty of care
• The person failed to perform his or her duty
• You suffered damages
• The person’s failure caused your injury and the damages

Even if you were partially at fault for your injuries, you may still be able to collect a settlement.  It is important to be completely honest with your lawyer about your level of involvement in an accident to get an accurate settlement amount estimate.
