Understanding the types of damages available in Peterborough personal injury cases
In a personal injury case, “damages” refer to the compensation awarded to an injured party for the losses they’ve suffered due to someone else’s negligence or wrongful actions. The goal of damages is to restore the injured person, as much as possible, to the position they were in before the injury occurred.
Economic damages cover tangible losses, such as:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages and earning potential
- Property damage
- Travel and in-home care expenses
Non-economic damages address intangible losses, including:
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress (e.g., PTSD)
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Scarring and disfigurement
Enhanced damages may be awarded in rare cases to punish egregious negligence and deter future misconduct.

We answer common questions about personal injury cases in Peterborough
What is the statute of limitations for a personal injury claim in New Hampshire?
You have three years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit in Peterborough. Missing this deadline may bar you from pursuing legal action. Some deadlines are even shorter, so don’t delay in reaching out to our experienced team.
What should I do if an insurance adjuster contacts me?
Avoid sharing sensitive information or agreeing to a recorded statement. Instead, collect the adjuster’s contact details and pass them to your attorney.
Should I accept a settlement offer from an insurance company?
Never accept or sign a settlement offer without having your attorney review it first. Once signed, the case is closed.
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer in Peterborough?
Shaheen & Gordon handles personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay no attorney fees unless you win. Fees are a percentage of the settlement, and we ensure transparency throughout the process.
