How the Office of Attorney Mark Rufo Can Help You

In a personal injury case, you as the injured person are the "plaintiff," while the party you are suing is the "defendant." Your lawyer is responsible for investigating and building your case and presenting it to the court. The lawyer for the defendant must defend the case and prove that his client is not liable. These cases are most often settled out of court through negotiations. However, where that does not occur, a judge or jury will ultimately decide the outcome.

In a personal injury case, you may be eligible to receive compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. The amount of compensation you may receive is based on the severity of your injuries and the extent of their impact on your life. The goal of your lawyer is to get you the maximum amount of compensation possible. This is necessary due to the tactics that insurance companies routinely engage in to limit the compensation they are required to pay. Their goal is to protect their profitability as a business.

If you have been injured, it is important to seek medical care and legal representation. Medical reports from your doctor will verify and document your injuries, providing proof that can be used in your claim. Legal representation will ensure that you understand your rights, determine all those who are responsible or have contributed to your injuries, and handle all aspects of your compensation claim. Where needed, the representation will ensure that your case is prepared for trial and that you have an aggressive voice in court.

Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle

Our legal team handles personal injury cases involving:

  • Auto accidents: Car accidents, including rideshare collisions, are the most common type of personal injury cases. These accidents can be caused by many different factors, including distracted driving, speeding, road rage, and drunk driving. 
  • Motorcycle accidents: Motorcycle accidents are some of the most severe types of accidents. Motorcyclists are physically exposed and thus more vulnerable to injury in a crash.
  • Pedestrian accidents: Pedestrians are one of the most vulnerable groups in traffic. Pedestrian accidents can be caused by distracted or careless drivers who do not yield to pedestrians in crosswalks.
  • Premises liability: Premises liability cases are filed against property owners who have failed to keep their property reasonably safe for visitors and others who may enter their premises. These claims can be caused by unsafe buildings, defective property equipment, or dangerous property conditions. Common cases include slip and fall accidents and dog bite cases. 
  • Defective products: Defective products can cause severe injuries and even death. Defective products can be caused by manufacturing defects, design flaws, or inadequate warnings.
  • Workplace accidents: These accidents require workers’ compensation claims for medical expenses and wage benefits. They may also lead to third-party personal injury claims where the negligence of another person or entity contributed to your injuries. 
  • Injuries to Children: Nothing is more alarming to parents than injuries to children. Whether on school property, in traffic accidents, at sporting events, or in other circumstances, we work tenaciously to help you seek the compensation your child needs for recovery. 
  • Catastrophic injuries: These involve devastating permanent disabilities, often based on traumatic brain injury, spinal cord damage, severe burns, and other life-changing injuries. We fight to ensure that the full impact of such injuries is covered in maximized compensation. 
  • Construction accidents: Construction workers have one of the highest rates of injury for all workers in the U.S. We can help you seek the compensation to which you are entitled under workers’ compensation law or personal injury law.
  • Workers’ compensation: We can assist in seeking the benefits to which you are entitled under an initial claim or help you appeal if your case has been unjustly denied. 

Attorney Rufo Promises You:

"I will tell you truthfully the strengths and the weaknesses of your case. I will tell you if your case is worth pursuing. I will get you every dollar that can be reasonably obtained, and the case will not be settled without your informed consent. I will help you on any follow up questions or concerns you may have. If I cannot talk to you when you call, leave a message and how I should get back to you and this will be done as soon as reasonably possible. And I will tell you that you are free to get a second opinion from a legal professional at any time. "

Statute of Limitations for a Personal Injury Claim in NH

The statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim in New Hampshire is generally three years from the date of the accident. This means that individuals have a three-year window within which they must file their personal injury lawsuit to seek compensation for injuries sustained in an accident. It's essential for individuals involved in accidents in New Hampshire to be aware of this statutory time limit to ensure they take timely legal action if needed.

Our FAQ

Do I have a personal injury claim or a workers’ compensation claim?

You may have both! If you are injured at work or have developed an injury caused by repetitive stress or strain from your job, you are often eligible for workers’ compensation. But this only prevents you from suing your employer. If a third party caused the accident, you could have an additional personal injury claim against that party.

What if I can’t afford an attorney?

Personal injury lawyers do not cost anything upfront. In fact, we get paid only when you do — and we receive only a percentage of the compensation we secure for you. This means that not only can you afford high-quality representation, but you know we will be fighting for the maximum possible recovery, because our own pay depends on it, too.

Why can’t I just accept the insurance company’s offer?

Insurance companies make their money cheating you. Claims agents are trained to get you to agree to the lowest possible amount, so the company can continue to maximize its profit. The only way to look out for your best interests and ensure that you receive fair compensation is to seek counsel from an attorney who is experienced in standing up to these insurance companies.
