Holding Drunk Drivers Accountable Across New Jersey

Drunk driving accidents aren’t just mistakes; they’re choices that destroy lives. Every crash caused by intoxication is preventable, and every victim deserves a firm that refuses to let negligence slide.

At Kwartler Manus, our drunk driving accident attorneys in New Jersey represent victims across the entire state. From Cherry Hill to Jersey City, we move fast to secure evidence, build a trial-ready case, and hold reckless drivers fully accountable.

New Jersey’s Drunk Driving Laws and Your Rights

New Jersey law is clear: driving under the influence (DUI) is a criminal offense. But while prosecutors handle the criminal side, victims must file a separate civil claim to recover compensation for their injuries and losses.

Our attorneys know how to coordinate with law enforcement, secure toxicology reports, and use criminal evidence to strengthen your civil case. Even if the driver isn’t convicted, we can still prove liability under the lower civil burden of proof and win you the compensation you deserve. This is about accountability, not excuses.

The Devastating Impact of Drunk Driving Crashes

Alcohol and drugs impair reaction time, focus, and coordination. On crowded highways and busy streets, that’s a recipe for disaster. In New Jersey, these collisions often happen on the Turnpike, Route 38, or I-295, and they leave lasting damage.

Victims often suffer:

  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Spinal cord or back damage
  • Broken bones and internal trauma
  • Permanent scarring or disfigurement
  • Emotional trauma and anxiety behind the wheel

Behind every injury is a story of lost wages, mounting medical bills, and disrupted families. We work to make sure those responsible are held to account — both in and out of court.

Who Can Be Held Liable

Most people assume only the drunk driver is responsible. But under New Jersey’s Dram Shop Law, others may share the blame if they served alcohol to someone who was clearly intoxicated or underage.

Depending on the case, we may pursue claims against:

  • Bars, clubs, or restaurants that overserved the driver
  • Social hosts who allowed underage drinking
  • Rideshare or delivery companies if their drivers were impaired on duty

Every detail matters. We investigate every angle, identify every liable party, and use the full weight of civil law to pursue maximum compensation.

What Compensation Covers

After a drunk driving accident, you have the right to recover the full scope of your losses, not just medical bills. Depending on the circumstances, compensation may include:

  • Medical treatment and rehabilitation costs
  • Lost income and reduced earning capacity
  • Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
  • Permanent disability or disfigurement
  • Wrongful death damages for surviving families

Our team doesn’t chase quick settlements. We build leverage; then we use it.
