Drunk Driving Affects 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.

Making a Claim Against a Drunk Driver
If you were hurt by a drunk driver, you are entitled to make a legal claim against him or her in a New Hampshire court of law. Our experienced Nashua drunk driving accident attorneys can help you do so.
A lawsuit filed after a car accident is known as a personal injury lawsuit. Most personal injury lawsuits contain at least one claim for negligence. Negligence is the legal term for carelessness, and anyone who causes an injury with negligent conduct can be liable for the monetary damages associated with that injury.
In personal injury lawsuits, victims of drunk driving accidents often assert a legal theory known as "negligence per se." This well-established legal principle can help an accident victim establish that the other driver was negligent if they were breaking the law at the time of the accident. Because driving while intoxicated (also known as DWI or DUI) is against the law in New Hampshire, the negligence per se rule often helps victims of drunk driving accidents win their cases. A lawyer can help you better understand whether this rule applies to your traffic accident case.
