Drunk Drivers cause devastating life changes, not only to themselves, but to others when they are involved in crashes.  “I have seen first-hand results of this senseless behavior,” said Attorney Randall Spivey of the Spivey Law Firm, Personal Injury Attorney.

 

“Our firm has helped clients, who are suffering because of drunk drivers, receive jury awards because the jury recognized the pain, suffering and on-going treatment required.”  Here are two examples:

 

$6.9 million – Collier County DUI accident where the client suffered life-long injuries

$40 million – Naples DUI accident – largest award ever in Southwest Florida

 

According to MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Drivers):

 

  • An average drunk driver has driven drunk 80 times before the first arrest.

 

  • MADD serves a victim or survivor of drunk driving every nine minutes.

 

  • This year, 10,839 people will die in drunk-driving crashes – one every 50 minutes.

 

  • One in three people will be involved in an alcohol-related crash in their lifetime.

 

  • One in three 8th graders drinks alcohol.

           

            “We have the ability to stop this one person, one drink at a time. Encourage people who have been drinking  to choose a designated driver or call a taxi. We can all help SAVE a life or lives,” says Attorney Randall Spivey.

 

            Spivey Law Firm, Personal Injury Attorneys, P.A. is a proud supporter of Mothers Against Drunk Drivers.
