Premises Liability Laws in New Hampshire.

New Hampshire abolished the traditional licensee/invitee distinction for lawful entrants in Ouellette v. Blanchard (1976). Landowners owe lawful entrants a duty of reasonable care under the circumstances.

Trespassers are owed only a duty to avoid willful or wanton injury. An attractive-nuisance exception applies to trespassing children.

Landowners who permit free recreational use of their land owe no duty of care and are not liable absent willful or malicious conduct.

Dog owners are strictly liable for any damage caused by their dog to the body or property of any person except when the person is engaged in a trespass, other tort, or provocation. No requirement to prove knowledge of dangerous propensities.
