The Impact of Drunk Driving on New Hampshire Families

Drunk driving has tragic consequences for New Hampshire families and people across the country. Each day, nearly 30 people are killed by drunk drivers in the United States. In New Hampshire, drunk driving accidents account for approximately 30-40 deaths per year, and thousands more are seriously injured. Hillsborough County has the second highest number of drunk driving accidents of any county in the state, according to statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). All drunk driving accidents are preventable, and driving while intoxicated is against the law.

Common Injuries from Drunk Driving Accidents

Some of the most common injuries include:

• Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): Traumatic brain injuries are among the most severe consequences of drunk driving accidents. TBIs can lead to long-term cognitive impairments, emotional difficulties, and physical disabilities.
• Spinal Cord Injuries: Spinal cord injuries can result in partial or complete paralysis, particularly impacting the victim’s quality of life. These injuries often necessitate lifelong medical care, adaptive equipment, and home modifications, creating substantial financial burdens.
• Broken Bones and Fractures: The force of a drunk driving collision can cause multiple broken bones and fractures, requiring surgeries and lengthy rehabilitation periods. These injuries can limit the victim’s mobility and ability to perform daily activities.
• Internal Injuries: Internal injuries, like damage to organs or internal bleeding, are common in severe drunk driving accidents. These injuries can be life-threatening and may demand immediate medical intervention and prolonged hospital stays.
• Whiplash and Neck Injuries: Whiplash and other neck injuries are frequent in drunk driving accidents, especially in rear-end collisions. While often considered less severe, these injuries can cause chronic pain and long-term complications if not adequately treated.
• Psychological Injuries: Beyond physical injuries, victims of drunk driving accidents often suffer from psychological trauma, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and depression.
