Here’s what some of our satisfied clients have to say about their experience with Shaheen & Gordon.

“Francis Murphy and Karen Matthews at Shaheen & Gordon provided exceptional support for my personal injury case after a car accident that changed my life. While no amount of money can undo the physical challenges I now face, their dedication and compassion made the year-and-a-half process worthwhile. Karen, my paralegal, was incredible—her kindness and care meant the world to me. I’m grateful for their hard work and wouldn’t hesitate to return to Shaheen & Gordon for any future legal needs.”

- Vendetta R.

“Attorney Jared O’Connor represented me in a challenging worker’s comp case stemming from a 2019 car accident caused by a drunk driver. Despite dealing with multiple injuries, doctors across four states, and coordination with car insurance, personal injury, and worker’s comp insurance, Jared handled everything with professionalism and care. He and his assistant, Ann Chilton, promptly addressed issues like delayed payments and interference with care, even involving the Department of Labor when necessary. Jared’s reassurance allowed me to focus on healing, and his persistence resulted in two settlements after over four years. I highly recommend Jared—he genuinely cares, fights for his clients, and provides peace of mind in worker’s comp cases.”

- Sara L.

Attorney Jared O’Connor of Shaheen & Gordon P.A. is very professional, knowledgeable, skilled and dedicated. It is evident that he loves his profession, working hard to fight for what is right. Highly recommend!

Our Nashua personal injury lawyers work to recover maximum compensation

Damages in personal injury cases refer to the compensation awarded to an injured person to cover the losses they have suffered due to someone else’s negligence or wrongdoing. These damages aim to make the victim “whole” again by addressing both tangible and intangible losses. They generally fall into three categories: Economic, non-economic, and enhanced.

Economic damages

These are measurable, financial losses directly tied to the injury, including:

Medical expenses: Hospital bills, surgeries, physical therapy, medications, and future medical care.
Lost wages: Income lost during recovery, as well as future earning potential if the injury affects the ability to work.
Property damage: Costs to repair or replace damaged property, such as a vehicle in a car accident.
Other out-of-pocket expenses: Travel to medical appointments, home modifications, or in-home nursing care.

2. Non-economic damages

These compensate for losses that are not easily quantified but significantly impact the victim’s life:

Pain and suffering: Physical pain resulting from the injury.
Emotional distress: Mental health impacts such as anxiety, depression, or PTSD.
Loss of enjoyment of life: Inability to participate in activities or hobbies enjoyed before the injury.
Scarring and disfigurement: Permanent physical changes and the emotional toll they bring.

3. Enhanced damages

In rare cases, enhanced damages are awarded. These are not intended to compensate the victim but to punish the at-fault party for egregious or reckless behavior and deter similar actions in the future.

How are damages calculated?

Determining the value of damages depends on factors such as:

The severity and permanence of the injury.
The impact on the victim’s ability to work or live their normal life.
Documentation, such as medical records, receipts, and expert testimony.

An experienced personal injury attorney can assess the full extent of your damages and fight to ensure you receive fair compensation. Contact a qualified attorney for guidance if you have questions about your case.

What should I look for in a personal injury attorney?

When selecting a Nashua personal injury attorney, consider these factors:

Relevant experience: Handling cases like yours.
Track record: Success across a variety of claims.
Reputation: Respected in the legal field and local community.
Trial experience: Prepared to take your case to court if necessary.
Communication: Keeps you informed and answers questions promptly.
Compatibility: Someone you trust and feel comfortable working with.

How our attorneys win personal injury cases

Under New Hampshire law, plaintiffs must prove these elements to win compensation:

Duty of care: The at-fault party owed you a responsibility to act safely.
Breach of duty: They failed in that responsibility through negligence or intentional acts.
Causation: Their actions directly caused your injury.
Damages: You suffered measurable losses, such as medical bills or emotional distress.

Our attorneys work to prove these elements while adhering to all legal deadlines.

What’s the personal injury lawsuit process?

While every case is unique, the general process includes:

Notifying the defendant(s): Informing them of your claim.
Gathering evidence: Supporting your case with documentation.
Negotiating a settlement: Attempting to resolve the case out of court.
Filing a lawsuit: Preparing for trial if a fair settlement cannot be reached.
