Legal Answers
- Q. For a minor dog bite in New Hampshire how do I go about filing a lawsuit? I did go to the hospital
- A: The process to file a lawsuit in NH can be found by looking at the NH Judicial Branch website. The rules in Superior Court can be found here: https://www.courts.state.nh.us/rules/supercr-new/index-new.htm
NH dog bite law is favorable towards victims. The facts you provide support that you have a viable damages claim and your recovery could depend on whether or not the dog owner has recoverable assets or insurance to cover yoru claim and your daughter's claim.
- Q. I live in NH in an auto accident other party 100% responsible do I take the med pay or will it stop med expense
- A: Yes, use the $1,000 medical payments coverage check for your co-pays and other out-of-pocket medical expenses. THis $1,000 is from your own insurance company. You paid the premiums to receive the benefits of this coverage under your policy. You will still be able to pursue a bodily injury liability claim against the at-fault party's car insurance to recover the reasonable value of your past and future medical expenses.
