Did I wait too long to claim pregnancy complications after my Concord hydroplaning crash?

Q: Did I wait too long to claim pregnancy complications after my Concord hydroplaning crash?

"They're going to ask: Why are you bringing this up now?" Your answer matters because the adjuster is looking for a reason to say the crash and the pregnancy complications are too far apart to count. What the insurance company will tell you is simple: if you did not go straight back to the ER, if your OB visits happened later, or if the claim file was "closed," you waited too long. That is not the full story in New Hampshire. For most car-crash injury claims, New Hampshire's deadline is 3 years from the crash date under RSA 508:4. So if the hydroplaning wreck happened on I-93, Route 3, or another Concord-area road during heavy rain or storm debris conditions, the key question is usually not "Did symptoms show up later?" It is whether you are still inside that 3-year window and can tie the complications to the crash with records. What to do now: Get the full chart from Concord Hospital, your OB, any maternal-fetal specialist, and Elliot Hospital if you were seen there later. Ask for records showing fetal monitoring, ultrasound findings, bleeding, contractions, placental concerns, blood-pressure issues, or bed-rest orders after the wreck. Pull the crash report from the responding agency, often New Hampshire State Police or Concord Police. Do not guess on dates. Build a timeline from the crash to every pregnancy-related visit. Another myth that costs people money: "If I felt okay that day, I can't claim later care." Wrong. Pregnancy injuries and complications can show up over days, weeks, or months. One caution: even if the lawsuit deadline is 3 years, your policy may require prompt notice for MedPay or other benefits. If an adjuster says you are "too late," ask them to point to the exact policy language and the exact date they say bars the claim.
