Rockingham County stretches from the I-93 corridor in Londonderry, Derry, Windham and Salem to the Seacoast in Portsmouth, Hampton and Exeter. It sees heavy commuter traffic to and from Massachusetts, summer beach traffic, and steady trucking on I-93 and I-95. Attorney Levasseur's office at 396 S Willow St in Manchester is just off I-93, and he has practiced law in New Hampshire for 24 years. If you were hit in Rockingham County, you can talk to him directly.

Roads Where County Crashes Happen

I-93 through Salem, Windham, Derry and Londonderry, a major route between Manchester and the Massachusetts border with ongoing heavy commuter volume.
I-95 through Seabrook, Hampton, Portsmouth and the toll plaza in Hampton, with tourist and interstate truck traffic.
Route 101 from Candia and Raymond east to Exeter and Hampton, a main route to the beaches.
Route 125 through Plaistow, Kingston, Brentwood and Epping, a busy two-lane north-south route.
Route 28 and Route 102 in Salem, Derry and Londonderry, and Route 1 / Lafayette Road along the Seacoast, with commercial driveways and turning traffic.
Route 1A and Ocean Boulevard in Hampton and Rye, where summer crowds, pedestrians and cyclists share the road.

Which Court Handles a Rockingham County Case

Larger car crash lawsuits in the county are usually filed in the Rockingham County Superior Court in Brentwood. Smaller civil claims, and any traffic or DWI charges against the other driver, go through the 10th Circuit Court district divisions in Derry (Derry, Londonderry, Chester, Sandown), Salem (Salem, Windham, Atkinson, Hampstead, Plaistow, Pelham), Portsmouth, Hampton, Brentwood (Exeter and nearby towns) and Candia.

What to Do After a Crash in the County

Call 911. Crashes on I-93 and I-95 are typically handled by State Police; crashes on local roads by the town police department.
If you are visiting the Seacoast from out of state, get the other driver's insurance and the report number before you head home.
Photograph the scene and vehicles, get witness names, and ask nearby businesses to keep any video.
Do not give a recorded statement to the other driver's insurer before getting advice. Call 603-622-7575.

Deadlines Matter

In New Hampshire, most personal injury lawsuits must be filed within three years of the crash (RSA 508:4, I). There are limited exceptions, and claims against a city, town or the State can involve shorter notice requirements. Evidence such as video footage, vehicle data and witness memories fades quickly, so it pays to call early.

If You Were Partly at Fault

New Hampshire uses modified comparative fault (RSA 507:7-d). You can still recover as long as your share of fault is not greater than the fault of the party you are making a claim against, but your damages are reduced by your percentage of fault. Insurance adjusters often try to shift blame, so do not give a recorded statement before getting advice.
