/PRNewswire/ -- To help people stay safe this July
4th, James Horne Law is happy
to announce a Sober Rides Campaign. If individuals decide to
celebrate this holiday by drinking, the firm will reimburse them

taxi or rideshare service. The goal of this campaign is to help
reduce the risk of drunk driving accidents in Lakewood Ranch and the surrounding area.
Florida Drunk Driving Statistics
When it comes to drunk driving, Florida has some troubling statistics.
According to data from the Florida Department of Highway Safety and
Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV), there were 5,071 crashes involving alcohol
impairment in 2023. While these types of accidents account for only
around 1% of all crashes, they cause around 15% of all accident
fatalities in the state.
The outlook for Lakewood Ranch
and surrounding areas in Sarasota
County doesn't look much better. In 2023, the county had 148
alcohol-related crashes, causing 6 fatalities and 66 injuries.
Drunk driving accidents were highest during holidays, such as
July 4th.
