In 1964 my great grandmother was shot and killed by a man who was having a psychotic episode that included hallucinations. He had been released from a mental hospital just a few days before. This happened in New Hampshire. Can the hospital be held liable for prematurely releasing him?

Unfortunately, the short answer is no. That is because of the statute of limitations. In other words, it's too late to bring a case as this happened almost 60 years ago.
If you were within the statute of limitations, this would have been a case worth investigating. If the hospital... View More

A New Hampshire attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. It's difficult for attorneys here to reach out to you to offer their services - the format isn't set up like an attorney referral service. If you're looking for an attorney, in addition to your... View More

Yes. You should certainly talk to an attorney. This is a possible case of medical malpractice, though of course a lot more investigation is necessary.

If something bad happened by their not doing wha they should have possibly. Consult a member of the NH Assn for Justice--they give free consults.
The office overcharged us and it was only caught after they started billing my insurance for visits we didn't have. They admit to the overcharge, but 2 years later they only will say, "We are working on it." I no longer live in the state.

You could certainly retain a lawyer to investigate your options, but for such a (relatively) small amount, you would quickly spend more in legal fees. You may want to look at small claims court action. You can file and manage those online. May be enough to at least settle for some of the money.
