How New Hampshire Law Affects Your Premises Liability Claim

New Hampshire follows a modified comparative fault system with a 51% bar and has no statutory cap on non-economic damages in personal injury cases. The state's small size and proximity to Boston influence its legal market, with many plaintiffs' attorneys practicing across state lines. New Hampshire does not have a general income tax, which can affect net recovery calculations.

Under New Hampshire's modified comparative fault (50% bar) system, your settlement may be affected if you share any responsibility for the accident. Your recovery will be reduced by your fault percentage, and you are barred from recovery if your fault reaches 50% or more.
