Potentially, New Hampshire follows a legal doctrine of comparative fault.
This means that an injured party can recover damages even if they were
partially at fault for an accident. Any fault attributed to the plaintiff
is simply subtracted as a percentage from the recoverable damages. However,
there is a catch. Under New Hampshire's modified rule, a plaintiff is
entitled to compensation only if they are found to be less than 50% responsible
for the accident. If a plaintiff is found to be more than 50% responsible,
they are not entitled to recover any damages.
