Every day in America 27 people die as the result of a drunk driving car crash. As a personal injury lawyer, I am all too familiar with these stories. I have seen first hand the devastation that a momentary lapse in judgment — getting behind the wheel after drinking — can cause. There are certain US holidays during which drunk driving is especially common. That’s why I offer to pay for rides home during the seven most popular drinking holidays. If I can prevent even one drunk driving crash then it’s money well spent. HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS It’s easy to participate. Simply make a choice, the right choice, to call an Uber, Lyft, or a good old-fashioned taxi if you’ve been drinking, send me the bill, and I’ll reimburse you for the ride. Requirements: Rides must begin and/or end within the city of Long Beach. Rides must be taken between 5pm on the day of the qualifying holiday and 10am the day after. You must be of legal drinking age (21 and over) at the time the ride is taken to qualify. Valid for one, one-way ride. Limit one reimbursement per household between September 4, 2018 to July 5, 2019. Maximum value of $30.00. The maximum value includes a tip up to 10%. Anything above a 10% tip on the base fare will not be reimbursed. Participation in this promotion is limited to the first 500 submissions for rides taken between September 4, 2018 to July 5, 2019. Submissions must be made within 7 days of the qualifying holiday and must include receipt, photocopy of valid driver’s license, and PayPal email address using the form at https://www.belizlaw.com/community/get-home-safe/
