Safe And Sober Prom Night - Preventing Accidents Before They Occur
Despite what you may have heard, trial lawyers really do care about the safety of our communities. The primary goal of a trial lawyer and our tort system is to keep people from being injured by deterring dangerous and irresponsible behavior that leads to accidents. It is only when our society fails in its primary goal that we must look to the secondary goal, which is compensating the victims of the carelessness of others.
In furtherance of that ideal, there is nothing more important to this law firm than helping our area high school students stay safe and sober. At Larson Law, we want not only to reduce injuries, but prevent them from occurring. According to MADD, more than half of all alcohol related traffic fatalities involving teens occur during prom season. To raise awareness of the danger to our students, the Springfield Public Schools Foundation
and Larson Law have established Safe and Sober Prom Night
.
Safe and Sober Prom Night encourages seniors to take a pledge - a written commitment to their parents - to stay drug and alcohol free on prom night. Students are given incentives to keep their commitment, including a chance to win cash, contributions toward their senior graduation party, t-shirts, and discounts from community businesses on prom related expenses.
At Larson Law, we hope to leave the world at little safer than we found it. For more information about Safe and Sober Prom Night, see our website.
