"We had an overwhelmingly positive experience with Atty. Diaz in settling our personal injury claim after a roll-over accident involving a drunk driver. Throughout the entire legal process he was attentive and patient with our questions (our first time with legal counsel), had excellent and clear communication, and was thoroughly professional. Atty. Diaz genuinely cared about our case and we absolutely owe our successful settlement to his work. We settled for a significantly higher amount than we had anticipated due to his diligence, persistence, and skill." - S.Chamberlin
"After an auto accident I was involved in, which caused personal bodily injuries to my father and me, we sought the services of Apis Law. Attorney Keith Diaz was very personable and took a strong interest in our case. I wasn’t just a number." - R. Schiderman

"Attorney Keith Diaz is the best personal injury lawyer I have worked with. From the beginning, he explained everything to me and was always very responsive when I had questions. He would respond quickly and with a high level of professionalism. He kept me updated throughout the process until an acceptable agreement was made. Keith definitely made me feel like he was advocating for me and not the other side.
If anyone is looking for a knowledgeable attorney, I highly recommend his law office and would definitely work with Keith again. Thank you Keith, you rock!" - M. Gosselin

New Hampshire Car Accident Laws You Should Know
Comparative Negligence Rule RSA 507:7-d
New Hampshire follows a "modified comparative negligence" system. This means:
- You can recover damages even if you're partially at fault
- Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault
- You cannot recover if you're more than 50% at fault
No-Fault Insurance Requirements
Unlike many states, New Hampshire does not require car insurance (though it's highly recommended). However, if you're in an accident with an uninsured driver, we can help you navigate uninsured motorist claims.
In New Hampshire, you generally have 3 years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, certain circumstances can shorten or extend this deadline. Don't wait—contact us immediately to protect your rights.
Mandatory Insurance Minimums (If You Choose to Insure)
If you purchase car insurance in NH, minimum coverage includes:
- $25,000 bodily injury per person
- $50,000 bodily injury per accident

Frequently Asked Questions About Goffstown Car Accidents
Our proven process maximizes your compensation while minimizing your stress:
How much does it cost to hire Apis Law?
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning we only get paid if you win. Our fee comes from your settlement or verdict—never out of your pocket. If we don't win, you owe us nothing.
How long do I have to file a claim?
In New Hampshire, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is typically 3 years from the accident date. However, don't wait—evidence disappears, witnesses forget details, and insurance companies are harder to deal with over time. Contact us immediately.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
New Hampshire uses modified comparative negligence. You can still recover damages if you're less than 51% at fault. Your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. We work to minimize your fault percentage.
What if the other driver doesn't have insurance?
We can help you pursue compensation through:
- Your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage
- Personal assets of the at-fault driver
- Other potentially liable parties (employers, vehicle owners, etc.)
Should I accept the insurance company's first offer?
Almost never. Initial offers are typically far below what your case is worth. Insurance companies hope you'll settle quickly before understanding the full extent of your injuries. Let us evaluate any offer before you accept.
What if my injuries don't show up until days or weeks later?
This is common with whiplash, concussions, and soft tissue injuries. Always see a doctor immediately after an accident, and follow up if new symptoms appear. Document all medical treatment—even delayed symptoms are compensable if linked to the accident.
How long will my case take?
Every case is different. Some settle in a few months; others take a year or more, especially if litigation is necessary. We move as quickly as possible while ensuring you receive maximum compensation. We never rush you into an unfair settlement.
Will I have to go to court?
Most car accident cases settle out of court. However, if the insurance company refuses a fair settlement, we're fully prepared to take your case to trial. We handle all court proceedings.
What if the accident happened on a town or state road?
Location doesn't change your right to compensation from the at-fault driver. However, poor road conditions or design might create additional claims against government entities. We investigate all potential sources of compensation.
Can I still file a claim if the police report says I was at fault?
Yes. Police reports are not always accurate and are not the final word on fault. We can challenge police findings with evidence, witness statements, and expert analysis.
