Understanding Your New Hampshire Motor Vehicle Accident Report
Page 1
Section A
Every detail matters. The date, time, day of week and exact location plus number of vehicles involved and reported police presence all matter. It is important to be precise here, especially when moving to the next lines which detail the exact location of the accident. Any error could jeopardize the success of your accident claim.
Section B
The type of accident must be filled in here, as well as the traffic, road design, conditions and weather. You have a choice of many different types of accidents, which you will need to fill in for Box 1 in Section B. Box 2 in Section B is for where your accident took place.
Section C
Here, injuries are recorded, as are the names, addresses, ages and genders of each passenger or witness to your accident. You should carefully fill out this section. Insurance companies read this section very carefully when determining how much to compensate injury victims, especially based on what answers are provided in Box 11 in Section C.

Section D
Detailed information about both vehicles (or a bicycle/pedestrian involved) must be recorded here. Information about both drivers and their vehicles is collected, from birth date to the vehicle's V.I.N. number. A description of the damage to the vehicle should also be included here. Your description should be detailed. The same is true for the "estimated cost to repair." Insurance companies often dispute such figures and try to offer less. We can help you fight back.
Section E
This section is where you will fill in information about your insurance company, policy number and record the property damage sustained in the accident. This section might seem straightforward. But insurance companies often try to challenge the lines concerning "estimated property damage (other than vehicle)" and "identify damaged property other than vehicle(s)." We can help you fill out this section so there's no debates later. And if there are, we can go to bat for you against the insurance companies.
Section F
These boxes are for a diagram of your accident. There are also two boxes - 20 and 21 - reserved for "pre-accident action." Here again, the information you include in your diagram and Boxes 20 and 21 could significantly affect the outcome of your case. Insurance companies will likely try to use such information to reduce or perhaps even deny your claim altogether. We can make sure Section F is filled out accurately on your accident report and defend your answers against any challenges from insurance companies. We've been doing this work for decades. We know what works and how to achieve favorable results.
