“I so appreciate all of Attorney Pomeroy’s assistance in settling my claim. You were always available to answer my questions and kept me informed all along the way. I know a lot of work happens behind the scenes and I’m grateful! I would certainly recommend your office for similar situations.”

- Joan B.

I am very pleased with the care and kindness that I received from the lawyers Christine Craig and Michael Noonan and the legal Assistants Christina Dumond and Britney Readel. They were easy to talk to and were very supportive in my time of need. I tried calling other attorneys but they seemed more interested in if it was a high dollar case rather than getting justice for what I was going through and recovering my losses.

They were always there when I had questions or concerns. This was my first time dealing with something like this, and I was very nervous. I must say my mind was put to ease, and I would highly recommend the team at Shaheen and Gordon, P.A. Thank you for treating me with respect and kindness.

“I was completely satisfied by the legal expertise, services and support provided by Shaheen & Gordon, Dover. My team, led by attorney Nicholas G. Kline and assistant Andrew R. Davis, were courteous and delivered resolution swiftly. I had come to the firm after being stuck with my case for 18 months with a local sole-practice attorney who was practically unreachable. Working with my team at Shaheen & Gordon was a ‘night and day’ positive difference. I highly recommend this firm, my team of Kline and Davis, and look forward to working with them again should the need arise!”

Understanding the types of damages available in New Hampshire personal injury cases

In a personal injury case, “damages” refers to the compensation awarded to an injured party for the losses they’ve suffered due to someone else’s negligence or wrongful actions.

The goal of damages is to restore the injured person, as much as possible, to the position they were in before the injury occurred.

Damages are typically categorized into three main types: Economic, non-economic, and enhanced.

Economic damages

These are tangible losses with clear monetary value, including:

Medical expenses: Past, present, and future costs for treatment, surgeries, rehabilitation, medications, and more.
Lost wages: Compensation for income lost during recovery, as well as diminished earning potential if the injury affects future employment.
Property damage: Costs to repair or replace damaged property, such as a vehicle in a car accident.
Other out-of-pocket expenses: Travel to medical appointments, home modifications, or in-home care services.

Non-economic damages

These compensate for intangible losses that don’t have a set monetary value, such as:

Pain and suffering: Physical discomfort and long-term pain caused by the injury.
Emotional distress: Anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other mental health challenges stemming from the accident.
Loss of enjoyment of life: Inability to engage in activities, hobbies, or relationships enjoyed before the injury.
Scarring and disfigurement: Compensation for permanent physical changes and the emotional toll they bring.

Enhanced damages

In rare cases, enhanced compensatory damages may be awarded to punish the at-fault party for particularly reckless, malicious, or egregious behavior and to deter similar conduct in the future.

We answer common questions about personal injury cases in New Hampshire

What is the statute of limitations for a personal injury claim in New Hampshire?

You have three years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit in New Hampshire. Missing this deadline may bar you from pursuing legal action. Some deadlines can be even shorter.

What should I do if an insurance adjuster contacts me?

Avoid sharing sensitive information or agreeing to a recorded statement. Instead, collect the adjuster’s contact details and pass them to your attorney. If you have a lawyer, direct the adjuster to contact them directly.

Should I accept a settlement offer from an insurance company?

Do not accept or sign a settlement offer without having your attorney review it first. Once signed, the case is closed. Always consult a New Hampshire personal injury lawyer before agreeing to any offer.

How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer in New Hampshire?

Shaheen & Gordon handles personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay no attorney fees unless you win. Fees are a percentage of the settlement, and we ensure transparency throughout the process.
