If you handle it as a first-party claim (through your carrier), carriers often pursue that from the carrier for the liable driver. But it could involve a deductible, and it could depend on your coverage. That's something... View More

A New Hampshire attorney could advise best, but you await a response for a week. It appears that you got your quotes from legitimate auto body repair shops that are registered in New Hampshire for such work. That gives you a strong argument against the carrier's PD department basing damages on... View More

Yes, you are entitled to a speedy trial. That said, why are you asking questions on this forum---instead, you should discuss this with your lawyer and if you do not have a lawyer at this point in time, then you need to get an attorney to represent you, as well as to protect your right to a speedy...

Yes they must pay and within a reasonable amount of time up to the amount of the insurance policy limits. For more than that you can proceed against the at fault driver but the insurance will not pay until you give a full release.

You will need to vacate the default and get put back on the trial list. The prosecutor will normally agree to this. Then we would proceed by getting discovery and analyzing your case. Sometimes older cases raise problems for the state as witnesses (police) may have retired and moved away. At a... View More

Using the med pay will allow you to avoid out of pocket expenses while... View More

A New Hampshire attorney could advise best, but you await a response for three weeks. Unfortunately, if you hired legal representation, the costs would exceed your damages, with no guaranteed outcome. You could look into small claims court in your county. Good luck
