How we match your New Hampshire slip and fall case

When you submit a New Hampshire slip and fall matter, we route it through a national network of independent partner firms and put it in front of the one that fits best — based on the kind of case it is, what it is likely to involve, where it has to be handled, and who has capacity to take it on now.

Case type

A slip and fall matter needs someone who handles slip and fall work day to day, not a generalist. Practice area is the first filter.

Size and complexity

Some firms are built for catastrophic injury and multi-party litigation; others resolve straightforward claims quickly. We weigh what your matter is likely to involve against how each firm actually works.

Jurisdiction and licensing

Your matter is decided under New Hampshire law, so it goes to an attorney licensed in New Hampshire who regularly appears where your case would be heard.

Capacity and fit

Availability, conflicts of interest and language all matter. If the best-fit firm cannot take your case, we route it to the next one that can — or tell you plainly when no one in the network is the right answer.

Every partner reviews your case for free. Injury and workers’ compensation matters are handled on contingency — no fee unless you win. Other matters are quoted upfront, before you commit to anything.

Get started How DearLegal works

DearLegal provides marketing and matching services and is not a law firm. Submitting a case does not create an attorney-client relationship. Matches depend on case type, jurisdiction and firm availability.

New Hampshire applies modified comparative fault with a 51% bar (RSA § 507:7-d). New Hampshire moved toward unified-duty analysis (Ouellette v. Blanchard), focusing on foreseeability and reasonableness rather than visitor classification. Winter premises cases dominate the docket, with courts applying a reasonableness analysis to ice and snow.

You must show a dangerous condition existed, the owner had actual or constructive notice, and failed to exercise reasonable care. The unified-duty framework focuses on reasonableness.

Defense controls the evidence, the 51% bar punishes any significant comparative fault, and natural-accumulation arguments are common in winter cases.

New Hampshire courts consider open-and-obvious as a factor. A duty may still exist when harm is foreseeable despite obviousness.

Get the incident report, photograph the hazard, identify witnesses, and demand preservation of surveillance immediately.

New Hampshire applies a reasonableness analysis. Storm-cycle, treatment, and unnatural-accumulation evidence drive outcomes.

Yes. RSA § 541-B requires notice within 60 days for state claims, with damage caps. Municipal claims face additional immunity defenses.

New Hampshire slip and fall attorneys typically work on contingency — no upfront cost, paid a percentage of the recovery. Typical fees range from 33% to 40%.
