How Are Parking Lot Accidents Handled Under New Hampshire Law?

Parking lot cases are generally handled the same way as roadway cases under New Hampshire law, which means fault still depends on which driver failed to exercise reasonable care, even though there are no posted traffic signals to rely on. 

Because parking lots lack the clear right-of-way rules that govern intersections, determining fault usually comes down to who was backing out, who had already established the right of way, or whether posted lot signage was followed. 

New Hampshire follows a modified comparative fault rule, barring recovery for anyone found 51% or more at fault for a crash. Surveillance footage from nearby businesses, witness statements, and photos of vehicle positioning can all matter when determining fault in a parking lot accident.

A Manchester car accident attorney can help track down this kind of evidence quickly, since parking lot security footage is often overwritten within days.
