The impact of an accidental injury can be overwhelming. You might be unable to work for a while or find it challenging to manage your household responsibilities. The financial impact can be huge, even if you have excellent health insurance.

When the incident that led to the injury was someone else’s fault, contact a Lebanon, NH personal injury lawyer at Rousseau & Ross. Our attorneys can investigate the circumstances, identify the parties responsible, and negotiate fair compensation for your injuries.

Types of Injury Claims We Handle

Our firm can help you pursue fair compensation after most types of accidents. We handle cases involving motor vehicle collisions (including trucks, motorcycles, bicycles, and pedestrians), slip and falls, and attacks by domestic animals.

If you are injured on the job, we can guide you through the Workers’ Compensation claim process and determine whether you may have a third-party claim. If a medical error caused an injury or illness, we can represent you in a medical malpractice claim. We can even represent you in an insurance company dispute claim after an injury.

Our Lebanon personal injury attorneys also represent developmentally disabled adults who have been abused or exploited in supportive care facilities like group homes and adult foster care. We hold the abusers accountable for doing harm to these vulnerable adults and hold the agencies charged with protecting them accountable.

How Do You Prove Negligence in an Injury Claim?

Whenever you pursue compensation for an injury, you must prove another party’s negligence led to your injury. Individuals, businesses, and government agencies can be negligent.

In most contexts, a party is negligent when they do not exercise reasonable caution to avoid doing harm to others. Some people, like those entrusted with the care of children, and drivers of commercial vehicles, must be especially diligent to avoid doing harm. In a medical malpractice case, a healthcare provider is negligent if they do not use the same degree of knowledge and skill as a similarly trained provider practicing in the area.

Our experienced Lebanon attorneys understand how to prove negligence in all types of injury cases. Once we demonstrate that a party’s negligence led to your injuries, the negligent party is liable for your medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering damages.

Pursuing Claims for Serious and Fatal Injuries

It is wise to seek legal advice about any injury claim that caused you to suffer financial losses. However, when you or a family member sustains a permanent injury or dies in an accident, working with an experienced personal injury attorney is essential.

If your injury is permanent, you may be entitled to any ongoing or future medical treatment and supportive care you will require. It is important to make a claim for damages that reflects the impact the catastrophic injury has on your ability to earn a living and the injury’s effect on the quality of your life and relationships. Our attorneys can work to make sure that you receive full compensation that reflects the seriousness of the harm you suffered.

When a loved one dies because of an accident or a medical error, family members can bring a wrongful death lawsuit. According to New Hampshire Revised Statutes § 556:12, family members can receive compensation for their loved one’s pain and suffering before death, funeral expenses, the loved one’s financial contributions to the household, and the loss of their companionship and guidance.
