Manchester Drunk Driving Accident Attorney
Drunk driving is common in Manchester. In fact, in New Hampshire, one study found that there were 146 fatal accidents over the course of a year, and 58 of them were related to alcohol. That’s a rate of 39%, which is higher than states like Utah (24%) or Michigan (32%). In 2022, there were 3.7 drunk driving fatalities for every 100,000 people in the state. Remember that impaired driving accidents also come from marijuana, medication or illegal drugs – not just alcohol.

Liability For DUI Accidents
Typically, liability for an impaired driving accident falls on the driver themselves. They were operating their vehicle while under the influence, as demonstrated by breath tests, field sobriety tests and more.
In addition, though, a social host may have some level of liability after a crash. Our firm has actually worked on one of the defining cases in this area of the law: Hickingbotham v. Burke. In this case, the hosts of a social gathering were charged after recklessly providing alcohol to an underage driver, who then caused an accident on the way home. Recklessness does have to be shown in these cases, demonstrating that the host made intentional, dangerous decisions, but it can be another potential avenue for compensation after a serious crash.
