What is the deadline in New Hampshire?
New Hampshire's personal injury SOL is 3 years (RSA § 508:4). Elder abuse claims follow the same 3-year period. New Hampshire does not require pre-suit notice for most nursing home claims but does for government facilities — consult local counsel. A lawyer can confirm yours.

Deadlines vary; a lawyer can confirm yours. An older diagnosis or a past filing window does not, by itself, establish whether you have a claim.
