Motorcycle Accident Lawyers New Hampshire

About New Hampshire Motorcycle Accident Laws

When a motorcyclist is injured in a motorcycle collision, it is crucial that he or she be aware of the motorcycle accident laws in the state where the accident occurred. Although every state allows victims to file for damages after the crash, each state has different laws involving liability, negligence, and additional matters. At Proner & Proner, we are well-versed in the motorcycle accident laws impacting clients’ potential claims. Our motorcycle accident lawyers serve clients throughout New Hampshire. When you secure the services of our team, we will make every effort to help you understand your rights while aggressively pursuing the financial compensation to which you are entitled.

Motorcycle Accident Laws and Victims' Rights

When there is a motorcycle accident injury caused by someone’s negligence – for example, an accident caused by a defective automotive or motorcycle part, reckless driving by a motorist, or poorly maintained roads – the law allows the injured to seek damages from the responsible party by filing a motorcycle accident claim. Depending on the circumstances of the crash, the severity of the victim’s injuries, and other factors, a settlement can include compensation for the victim’s medical expenses related to the crash, lost wages, decreased earning potential, and additional losses. The process of filing suit is determined by state motorcycle accident law, the particulars of which vary state to state.

If you have suffered personal injury in a motorcycle crash, Proner & Proner can help you understand how the law is likely to impact your potential claim. Contact our law firm to schedule a consultation with one of our motorcycle accident lawyers. We serve injured bikers throughout New Hampshire.

State Motorcycle Accident Laws

Motorcycle accident laws in New Hampshire include:

Helmet Laws

Unlike states that require all riders, or riders under a certain age, to wear a helmet, New Hampshire does not require any riders to wear a helmet. (The state is one of just three without a helmet law.) Accordingly, motorcycle accident statistics indicate that only 43 percent of motorcycle accident death victims in New Hampshire were wearing a helmet at the time of the crash.

Other Pertinent Personal Injury Laws

State personal injury laws determine the process for filing a motorcycle accident claim. The laws in New Hampshire include:

Statute of limitations – In every state, there is a time limit, or statute of limitations, for filing a personal injury claim. In New Hampshire, the statute of limitations is three years after the accident that caused the injury. The statute of limitations for filing a product liability claim – i.e. seeking damages for an injury caused by a defective automotive or motorcycle part – is three years, or six years if the government imposes a legal duty to file suit. The statute of limitation for filing a property damage claim – i.e. seeking damages for damage to one’s motorcycle – is also three years. Once the statute of limitations passes, the injured may not seek or obtain damages for his or her injuries.

Contributory negligence – According to New Hampshire negligence laws, a victim who is partially responsible for his or her injuries (thus having contributory negligence) can still seek a motorcycle accident settlement. However, the size of his or her settlement will be decreased in proportion to his or her degree of fault. If the victim is more negligent than the other responsible party or parties, he or she may not obtain damages.
