Road Safety Gets Needed Attention, Injury Firm Makes Donation

This year was the official launch of the United Nations Decade of Action for Road Safety, in case you didn't notice.  We should all notice, because although constant national efforts have reduced the traffic death toll to 2,418 in 2008 across country, this is still far too high.  Each one of those traffic deaths was a human being with friends and family and a future - until it was cut short.

Transport Canada has designated 2011 as Canada's Year of Road Safety, and furthermore, this coming Wednesday November 23 is the National Day of Remembrance for road crash victims.  Largely through the reforming zeal and energy of Jeannette Holman-Price, the day will be marked by an event at City Hall at 6:30 PM, and a wreath laying at the weigh scales outside of St. John's at 4:30 PM. 

The campaign theme is "Re-think The Way You Drive".

To help promote the campaign for road safety and collision avoidance, Ches Crosbie Barristers will donate $500 to the Brain Injury Association of Canada for every collision case we take to settlement or judgment, where a new client mentions hearing our message of support on VOCM.  Our message is playing now until November 23. 

Start today to "Re-think The Way You Drive."
