The Law Offices of Michael A. DeMayo wants you to join us in the fight against drunk driving. Between now and November 5, 2010, for each person that Like’s us on Facebook we will donate $1 to the North Carolina Chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving. Our Charlotte, North Carolina personal injury law firm has been a longtime advocate in the fight against driving under the influence. We are happy to be raising money for such an important cause.

Out of the 1,314 North Carolina traffic deaths that occurred in 2009, alcohol was a factor in 363 of them. That is 363 people who could have still been alive today were it not for a drunk driver.

According to Mothers Against Drunk Driving:
• One in three people will be involved in an alcohol-related collision.
• There are about 2 million drivers out there who have had at least three prior drunk driving offenses on their record.

Education and awareness are among the first steps to combat driving while under the influence of alcohol. For the last eight years, our Charlotte, North Carolina car accident lawyers have awarded a number of high school seniors college scholarships through the Michael A. DeMayo Scholarship Program. Award recipients were chosen from the North Carolina counties of Cabarrus, Mecklenburg, Lincoln, Catawba, Rowan, Stanly, Alexander, Robeson, Richmond, Caldwell, Cumberland, Gaston, Union, Cleveland, Iredell, Burke, Scotland, and Anson and the South Carolina counties of Lancaster, Marlboro, York, Chesterfield, and Dillon. Award recipients were chosen based on their original presentations that were created to encourage other teens to refrain from underage drinking and driving, as well as their grades, community activities, and SAT scores. Since 2003, we have awarded over $162,000 to 67 students.

The Law Offices of Michael A. DeMayo is excited about this latest opportunity to combat drunk driving. If you are someone who was hurt or injured in a North Carolina car crash that you believe was caused by another party’s carelessness or recklessness, contact us today. We have law offices in Charlotte, Monroe, Hickory, and Lumberton, North Carolina.
