Over 17,000 Americans are killed in alcohol-related vehicle crashes each year. Tragically, that’s a death every 30 minutes on the highways in this country. MADD has a campaign to eliminate drunk driving under way. All of us have an obligation to get involved and do all that we can to stop this senseless tragedy that affects not only the victims who are killed, but also their families and friends. Those tragic events also affect the families and friends of the drunk drivers who cause the deaths since they have to share the pain and grief, but in a different way. All of us have known people – with some of them being family members – who lost their lives in a crash caused by a driver who was legally drunk. Our firm has handled hundreds of cases where alcohol was the cause of a motor vehicle crash that resulted in deaths of innocent victims. If you want to help on this project, I suggest that you send a contribution to Madd at 511 East John Carpenter Freeway, Suite 700, Irving, Texas 75062.
