PERSONAL INJURY

OVERVIEW
Senior Attorney Paul Chant was recently named New Hampshire’s top personal injury lawyer. Cooper Cargill Chant has handled cases with values in the millions, and in the thousands.

Cooper Cargill Chant has handled hundreds of personal injury cases and workers’ compensation claims. We handle most of our cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning if there is no recovery, there is no fee. Our legal fees are a percentage of the recovery we obtain for you, and are competitive with other firms.

We are proud that most of our cases are resolved without filing suit, and the vast majority are resolved without trial. Whether your case is a sophisticated medical negligence claim or a simple rear-end auto accident, Cooper Cargill Chant will work hard to protect your rights.

We charge no fees unless we obtain a recovery for our clients. We are always willing to meet or speak with a client for no charge to learn more about a case to ascertain if we can be of assistance. We encourage our clients to put our experience to work in order to not give the insurance company the advantage.

  • AUTO ACCIDENTS
    We handle auto accidents of every type and nature, from simple, low-impact rear-end collisions with soft tissue injuries to complex, multi-vehicle accidents that have involved death claims and very serious, permanent injuries. These often involve issues of insurance coverage, health coverage, or no coverage (New Hampshire is one of just two states in the USA that do not require insurance coverage. In an Accident? Contact Us Today!
  • MOTORSYCLE & BICYCLE ACCIDENTS
    Unfortunately, cyclists are often injured very seriously by careless drivers. Many motorcycle and bicycle accidents involve catastrophic injuries due to the traumatic, blunt force impact. We have represented cyclists and their families in death and serious injury claims. We strongly encourage motorcyclists in New Hampshire to carry significant bodily injury and uninsured motorist coverage on their bikes. Too often, we see injured people who have well insured automobilies and very limited cycle coverage. We have been successful on occasion in accidents involving bicycles by involving the homeowners coverage. Call us and we’ll help sort the insurance out. In an Accident? Contact Us Today!
  • TRUCK ACCIDENTS
    Trucks are different because they are heavier, take longer to stop and are more difficult to control than cars. Further, there are many rules and regulations regarding commercial drivers that do not apply to automobiles. If you have been injured as the result of a negligent commercial truck driver, contact a lawyer immediately to ensure that the accident is properly documented. In an Accident? Contact Us Today!
  • SLIP & FALL CLAIMS / PREMISES LIABILITY CLAIMS
    Every year, individuals are injured when they slip and fall on poorly maintained driveways, walkways, and steps in and out of buildings. Many of these falls result in serious leg, ankle, hip and pelvic fractures, and many of those fractures require surgeries and hospitalizations. We have even represented individuals who suffered brain injuries resulting from slipping and falling. We have handled many cases against large and small commercial establishments, and state and municipal entities for failing to properly maintain their premises, both for winter maintenance, and for failure to maintain parking lots in good repair, improper steps and risers in restaurants, poor and failing railings, and other improper building design and maintenance. In slip and fall cases, it is very important to try to document the condition of the property as soon as possible after an accident. It is also important to place any municipal or state entity on notice within very short time frames. In an Accident? Contact Us Today!
  • CLAIMS AGAINST STORES
    We have represented individuals in cases where items have broken and or fallen on them at retail stores and injuries have been suffered. We have represented an individual who suffered serious injuries when an item place on a shopping cart by a store employee fell in her path, causing her to fall and break her ankle. We have represented many individuals who suffered trip and fall and slip and fall injuries. It is important to try to document the conditions that caused the injury and to find witnesses and employees on duty as soon as possible. In an Accident? Contact Us Today!
  • CONSTRUCTION & INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENTS

  • DOG ATTACKS
    New Hampshire has a strict statute regarding liability for dog attacks. While many of us at Cooper Cargill Chant are dog owners, we also know that dogs attacks are sudden and devastating. We have represented numerous individuals due to attacks by single and multiple dogs that resulted in facial, arm, torso, leg and hand injuries; and we have helped clients who have had to go through the rigors of rabies treatment. In an Accident? Contact Us Today!
  • SEXUAL ASSAULT
    In addition to sexual assault of adults, we unfortunately see serious abuse of children by adults. These cases can have lifelong effects. Cases involving the clergy and school officials have received much publicity and in New Hampshire there have been changes to extend the time limits for bringing a claim. Do not leave questions unanswered. Call for help. Contact Us Today.
  • MEDICAL OR DENTAL MALPRACTICE & MEDICAL PRODUCTS DEFECTS
    Studies show that there are many, many cases where patients are injured as a result of the lack of care of medical professionals. Medical malpractice cases are very expert-intensive and costly to bring forward. Thus, there must be serious damages to even invest the resources to investigate bringing a claim. However, there are very meritorious claims. We have been involved in cases involving strokes, death, improper joint replacement surgery or unnecessary surgery; cases where doctors have used wrong tools and techniques, failed to review or properly note lab and imaging results; and a variety of medical products litigation including Fen-Phen, Fosomax, jaw implant devices, breast implants, asbestos, and hip and knee implant devices. We are happy to speak with you about these cases. Contact Us Today.
