Does Auto Insurance Cover Pedestrian Injuries in New Hampshire?

Pedestrian accidents can lead to serious injuries, ranging from fractures and head trauma to internal injuries that may not be immediately visible. Understanding how insurance coverage works in New Hampshire is crucial for victims and their families seeking compensation.

In New Hampshire, drivers are required to carry liability insurance, which is designed to cover injuries or damages caused to other people, including pedestrians, when the driver is at fault. This means that if a driver hits a pedestrian and is determined to be responsible for the accident, their liability policy may cover the pedestrian’s medical bills, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, and, in some cases, pain and suffering. Liability coverage is the primary source of compensation for pedestrian victims in many cases.

Pedestrians may also rely on their own health insurance to cover immediate medical expenses, especially for emergency care or hospital treatment following a collision. While health insurance may pay for treatment upfront, it can later be reimbursed if a successful claim is made against the at-fault driver’s insurance. Additionally, some individuals may have personal injury protection (PIP) coverage as part of their own auto policy, which can help cover medical expenses and, in certain circumstances, lost income, even if the pedestrian was not at fault.

Documenting the accident thoroughly is essential. Pedestrians should collect police reports, medical records, photographs of injuries, and witness statements. This evidence strengthens claims and ensures that insurance companies or legal representatives have the information needed to calculate fair compensation. Keeping detailed records of lost wages, ongoing medical care, and any long-term impact on quality of life can also support claims for economic and non-economic damages.

Navigating the claims process can be complex, particularly when dealing with serious injuries. Consulting a knowledgeable car accident lawyer can clarify your rights, handle negotiations with insurance companies, and guide you through potential legal action. An experienced attorney can help ensure that victims receive full and fair compensation for all medical costs, rehabilitation, lost income, and the physical and emotional effects of the accident.
