Christensen Law Extends ‘Safe Ride Home’ to St. Patrick’s Day

Christensen Law will now extend its life-saving “Safe Ride Home” program to people who may celebrate St. Patrick’s Day by drinking too much alcohol.

“We have every reason to believe our ‘Safe Ride Home’ program has saved the lives of people who over-celebrated on Thanksgiving Eve and New Year’s Eve,” says Dave Christensen, founder of Christensen Law. “We’ve helped more than 250 people return home safely, and we want to continue offering that service to the community.”

The Michigan State Police see an increase in drunk driving accidents around St. Patrick’s Day, and are expected to increase drunk driving patrols in counties across the state.

Christensen Law wants to help people get home safely from their St. Patrick’s Day celebration – and without being charged with driving under the influence (DUI). The cost of a driver’s auto insurance can increase significantly if the driver has a DUI on his or her record.

“We want to decrease the number of people killed on Michigan roads each year,” Christensen says. “The number rose 10 percent in 2015 compared with the previous year.”

The National Safety Council recently reported that 982 people were killed on state roads in Michigan during 2015.

As a personal injury lawyer, Christensen has seen too many people suffer as a result of drunk driving. For years he has been involved with organizations such as the Washtenaw Council on Alcoholism, Spectrum Treatment and Prevention Services, and others that deal with alcohol/drug addiction. That’s why he’s offering special help.
