Auto Accidents All too Common in New Hampshire | Accident Attorney

Hillsborough County is the only county in New Hampshire that has seen a steady decline in the number of traffic fatalities over the past four years.  Every other county's numbers have remained nearly unchanged or risen.

Why is this?  

There really is no short answer.  Recent drunk driving accidents certainly add to the total.  In addition, our tough winter weather often creates driving conditions that are poor at best.  Distracted driving is another major issue on roadways across the country.  Cell phone use and text messaging while driving have caused injuries and deaths in New Hampshire and beyond.  

To combat these factors State Police have been putting extra effort into discouraging drunk driving and other dangerous behaviors.  DWI checkpoints and safety projects have been utilized throughout the state.  

However, at the end of the day only one person can prevent an accident by not drinking, putting down the cell phone and driving respectfully.  That person is you.  

Please help keep yourself and those around you safe everyday by making the right choices every time you get on the road.  

If you or someone you love have been hit by a drunk driver you need an attorney who knows DWI cases.  Please contact your New Hampshire accident attorney at Van Dorn & Curtiss today for your free consultation.
