Injured on the job in New Hampshire? Beyond workers' compensation, a third-party claim may let you recover the full value of your losses.
Workers' Compensation and Its Limits
Most New Hampshire employers are required to carry workers' compensation insurance, which pays medical bills and a portion of lost wages regardless of fault. But workers' comp does not compensate you for pain and suffering, and it often falls short of covering the full impact of a serious injury. Understanding your rights under the system — and not signing away benefits — is critical.Third-Party Claims: The Key to Full Recovery
When someone other than your employer caused your injury — a negligent driver, a defective machine manufacturer, a subcontractor, or a property owner — you may have a separate third-party personal injury claim. Unlike workers' comp, a third-party claim can recover full damages, including pain and suffering and the complete value of lost earning capacity. Construction, logging, and manufacturing injuries frequently involve third parties.Protecting Your Rights
Injured workers often face pressure from employers and insurers to return early or accept limited benefits. Our network attorneys evaluate both your workers' comp rights and any potential third-party claim, working to secure the maximum recovery available under New Hampshire law.Common Questions
Workplace Injury FAQs — New Hampshire
You generally can't sue your employer, but if a third party caused your injury, you may have a separate claim that recovers damages workers' comp doesn't cover, like pain and suffering.
No. It covers medical care and partial lost wages but not pain and suffering or the full value of lost earning capacity. A third-party claim may fill that gap.
Construction, logging, manufacturing, and delivery work often involve negligent third parties such as equipment makers, subcontractors, or drivers.
