Need a Ride Home this St. Patrick’s Day? Call a Cab – It’s on Berg Injury Lawyers
Alameda, Calif. (PRWEB) March 16, 2007 -- Steeped in rich tradition, St. Patrick’s Day is a time to celebrate Irish culture, music, and customs. From parades and festivals to people enjoying green beer and Irish whiskey in pubs, St. Patrick’s also has become a holiday when driving under the influence of alcohol has become a dangerous problem. As a result, Alameda-based law firm Berg Injury Lawyers has once again committed itself to providing free cab rides home to people who have been drinking or who don’t feel they have a safe way to get home.
Berg Injury Lawyers will team up with Veterans Cab and Yellow Cab of Alameda to provide free transportation this St. Patrick’s Day. The law firm’s Safe and Sober Free Cab Ride Home program will be available in the cities of Alameda, Oakland, and Berkeley from 3 p.m. on Saturday, March 17, 2007, through 3 a.m. on Sunday, March 18, 2007.
To request a free cab ride home, individuals can call Yellow Cab of Alameda or Veterans Cab at (800) 281-4488 and tell them Berg Injury Lawyers is paying for their safe ride home. Cab rides are made available to area residents who otherwise might attempt to drive home after drinking. Rides are provided to an individual’s residence—not to other drinking locations.
“Because events for St. Patrick’s start in the morning, many people may not realize how much they’ve had to drink throughout the course of the day,” notes William Berg, founder and principal of Berg Injury Lawyers. “I encourage people to take into account the severity of drinking and driving and the threat it poses to our community. We are devoted to providing safe rides home for those who have been drinking—for both the safety of themselves and others on the road.”
