New Hampshire DUI laws for first offenders

DUI DWI Laws

New Hampshire First Offender

You are DWI in New Hampshire if your blood alcohol content (BAC) is .08% or higher.

With a BAC level at or above .16% ("aggravated DWI"), you will face increased fines and maximum license suspension.

DWI First Offender Penalties

Jail

No jail for most First Offenders.

Fine

$350 to $1000. DWI offenders may be liable to reimburse public agencies up to $10,000 of costs incurred in responding to incidents involving negligent use of vehicle.

Community Service

500 hours of community service can offset reimbursement fees to public agencies for responses to DWI related incidents involving negligent use of vehicle.

License Suspension

90 days to 2 years. Reinstatement Fee: $50.

Registration Cancellation/Plate Seizure

For aggravated DWI. Vehicle Registration must be revoked during the same period as the offender's drivers license suspension/revocation.

Test Refusal

If you refuse a breath, blood or urine test, your license will be suspended for 180 days. Test refusal penalties cannot run concurrently with any other penalties.

Assessment

In New Hampshire the assessment is conducted post-trial, but pre-sentencing and the individual returns to court for final sentencing based on the assessment. In New Hampshire assessments are conducted by a non-profit agency contracted and monitored by the state. The cost ranges from $280 to $380, including a 20-hour education course, and is usually borne by the offender.

Education

Normally a 20-hour impaired driver intervention program paid for by the assessment/screening fee.

Treatment

According to assessment determination.

Conditional Licensing

A hardship license may be available under certain circumstances.

Under 21

You are DWI if you have any alcohol at all in your system while driving. You will lose your license for 6 months.

Insurance

Your insurance rates will probably climb considerably, and your insurance carrier may drop you. The rates for family members and sometimes your employer can increase as well.

More Serious Charges

You may be charged with felony DUI (possibly leading to much greater penalties) if you are involved in a crash involving serious injury or death

Illinois Work Injury Lawyers – Krol, Bongiorno & Given, LTD.

Accidents in the workplace are often caused by unsafe work conditions arising from ignoring safety rules, overlooking maintenance or other negligence of those in management. While we are one of the largest firms in Illinois dedicated solely to the representation of injured workers, we pride ourselves on the personal, one-on-one approach we deliver to each client.

Work accidents can cause serious injuries and sometimes permanent damage. Some extremely serious work injuries can permanently hinder a person’s ability to get around and continue their daily duties. Factors that affect one’s quality of life such as place of work, relationships with friends and family, and social standing can all be taken away quickly by a work injury. Although, you may not be able to recover all of your losses, you may be entitled to compensation as a result of your work injury. Krol, Bongiorno & Given, LTD. provides informed advocacy in all kinds of workers’ compensation claims, including:

• Injuries to the back and neck, including severe spinal cord injuries
• Serious head injuries
• Heart problems resulting from workplace activities
• Injuries to the knees, elbows, shoulders and other joints
• Injuries caused by repetitive movements

For Illinois Workers’ Compensation claims, you will ALWAYS cheat yourself if you do not hire an experienced attorney. When you hire Krol, Bongiorno & Given, Ltd, you will have someone to guide you through the process, and when it is time to settle, we will add value to your case IN EXCESS of our fee. In the last few years, employers and insurance carriers have sought to advance the argument that when you settle a case without an attorney, your already low settlement should be further reduced by 20% so that you do not get a “windfall.” Representing yourself in Illinois is a lose-lose proposition.
