Drunk Driving Accident Lawyers Focused on Your Case

Drunk driving accidents cause some of the most devastating and senseless injuries on the road. These crashes often result in catastrophic injuries or wrongful death due to the impaired driver's excessive speed, failure to brake, or complete loss of control. At Howard, Fine & Howard, our lawyers understand the unique legal aspects of these cases, including potential punitive damages and third-party liability. Since 1983, we've successfully represented victims of impaired drivers throughout New Hampshire, recovering over $400 million for our clients while holding intoxicated drivers and those who enabled them fully accountable. Contact us today to schedule a free case review to discuss how we can help with your drunk driving accident case.

Why Victims of Drunk Driving Accidents Should Hire a Lawyer

DUI accident cases involve distinct legal considerations that require specific experience and strategic advocacy.

  • Criminal proceedings against the drunk driver run parallel to but separate from your civil claim 
  • Evidence from the criminal case must be properly obtained and leveraged for your civil claim 
  • Blood alcohol content (BAC) results create powerful evidence of negligence 
  • Dram shop and social host liability may extend responsibility to bars, restaurants, or party hosts 
  • Punitive damages may be available beyond standard compensation in egregious cases 
  • Insurance companies may attempt to deny coverage based on intentional acts exclusions 
  • Catastrophic injuries often exceed available insurance coverage from at-fault drivers 
  • Proper calculation of lifetime care needs for permanently injured victims requires specialized expertise


These factors create both challenges and opportunities for injured victims seeking fair compensation. Our attorneys understand these dynamics and have developed effective strategies to maximize recovery. Contact our office to discuss your case with a lawyer experienced in drunk driving accident claims.

  • What legal rights do victims of drunk driving accidents have?

    Victims of drunk driving accidents have the right to pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and in some cases, punitive damages. These rights extend beyond what might be available in a typical car accident case, as drunk driving involves negligent and often criminal behavior.

  • How long do I have to file a claim after being injured by a drunk driver?

    The statute of limitations varies by state, but generally ranges from one to three years after the accident. It's important to consult with an attorney as soon as possible to ensure your claim is filed within the appropriate timeframe and to preserve crucial evidence for your case.

  • Can I seek compensation if the drunk driver doesn't have insurance?

    Yes, you may still have options for compensation even if the at-fault driver is uninsured. These can include filing a claim through your own uninsured motorist coverage, pursuing a personal lawsuit against the driver, or potentially seeking damages from a third party who may share liability, such as an establishment that over-served alcohol.

  • What types of compensation might be available to drunk driving accident victims?

    Compensation may include economic damages (medical bills, rehabilitation costs, lost income, property damage) and non-economic damages (pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life). In cases involving particularly egregious conduct, punitive damages may also be awarded to punish the drunk driver.



  • How is a drunk driving accident case different from other vehicle accident cases?

    Drunk driving accident cases often involve both civil and criminal proceedings. They typically present stronger liability claims against the at-fault driver, may include additional liable parties under "dram shop" or social host liability laws, and frequently result in higher compensation awards, including the possibility of punitive damages not commonly available in regular accident cases.
