Hawaii Among Top 10 U.S. States Where DUI Fatalities Are on the Rise
A new study reveals that Hawaii leads the nation with the sharpest rise in alcohol-impaired fatalities
The research by Personal Injury Lawyers from H&P Law analyzed data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS), comparing alcohol-impaired fatality rise and fall percentage across all 50 states from 2022 to 2023. This study highlights where DUI-related deaths are surging and where improvements have been made.
Hawaii ranks first with a 35.13% rise in alcohol-impaired fatalities. The Aloha State witnessed 31.03 alcohol-impaired deaths per 100 fatalities in 2022, increasing to 41.94 in 2023, highlighting a sharp rise in DUI-related fatalities.
Looking at the study, a spokesperson at H&P Law commented:
“The findings from Hawaii are a sobering reminder that alcohol-impaired driving continues to claim lives and leave lasting scars. Behind every number is a family left grieving, a survivor facing a lifelong recovery, or a community grappling with loss.”
“When DUI fatalities rise instead of fall, it signals more than just a traffic safety issue — it’s a deeper societal challenge. Hawaii must prioritize stronger enforcement, harsher penalties for repeat offenders, and broader education to prevent these entirely avoidable tragedies.”
