Are you looking for a New Hampshire truck accident attorney? When handling cases in New Hampshire, I work with local counsel so that my clients can get the benefits of my knowledge of trucking law, while working alongside a New Hampshire lawyer. When I join a local attorney as co-counsel, it doesn't cost the client a penny more. Trials can be the best way to maximize rewards. I spend a lot of time in the courtroom and if you want me to, I will take your case all the way. Contact me for a free consultation.
Helping truck accident victims is my life's work. I work tirelessly to see that my clients receive the maximum compensation for their loss.
Or contact me online. All information is kept confidential. I will not accept a case in a state where I'm not ethically permitted under the circumstances.

I am honored that West Thompson—the world’s largest publisher of legal books—asked me to write this multi-volume book on truck accident law in 2004. I had already begun the project for my own reference. My book includes the federal regulations that are the same in each state for interstate tractor-trailer crashes, as well as state law that differs in areas, like whether there are monetary limits or “caps” in the lawsuit, whether you can receive punitive damages, and the varying technical requirements for filing a lawsuit.
I have handled cases across the country. I am licensed in several states, and have local counsel in many states who I trust and work with closely. Select your state to learn more:
I regularly engage in continuing legal education presentations around the country, including the following events in or near New Hampshire:
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (Title 49, Parts 350-399) govern all vehicles engaged in interstate traffic.
There are some situations where a tractor-trailer or other commercial motor vehicle is involved in only intrastate travel. For example, an appliance store in Concord may own a truck that only makes in-state deliveries.
The New Hampshire Department of Public Safety has adopted Title 49, Parts 382, 383, 384, 390, 391, 392, 393, 394, 395, 396, 397, 398, and 399 of the federal regulations.

Your truck accident case may be larger than you think. My experience often enables me to maximize awards, well beyond what the co-counsel originally expected. My book Litigating Truck Accident Cases, published by West Publishing, is considered the definitive work on handling truck accident cases. Contact me if you are seeking co-counsel on your case.
