Introduction
For Davis, Saperstein & Salomon, P.C., the quest to stop drunk driving in New Jersey is a personal one. One of our partners, Steven Benvenisti, was nearly killed by a drunk driver in college. His dedication to combating drunk driving through his work with MADD and his highly popular program, “The Most Significant Case of My Entire Career,” inspires us every day.
We believe New Jersey residents would be as motivated as we are if they knew the scope of the impaired driving problem in our state. In hopes of raising awareness, we have compiled 9 years worth of open source data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s FARS database, from 2005-2013.
After reviewing this data, we hope you are inspired to sign our pledge below and make your own personal commitment to preventing drunk driving. We ask you to share this resource as well. After all, we can all do our part!
