Palm Bay Personal Injury Attorneys of Alpizar Law Support National Drunk and Drugged Driving Prevention Month

Palm Bay, FL – The personal injury attorneys Alpizar Law, O. John and David Alpizar, and staff is proud to support the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC’s) nationwide program called National Drunk and Drugged Driving Prevention Month (December). First started in 1982 by President Ronald Reagan, this national holiday has experienced increased community support and continues to promote safer streets daily.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), about three in every ten Americans will be involved in an alcohol-related crash at some point in their lives. In 2006, 13,470 people died in alcohol-impaired driving crashes, accounting for nearly one-third (32%) of all traffic-related deaths in the United States. In one year, over 1.4 million drivers were arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol or narcotics. This accounts for less than 1% of the 159 million self-reported episodes of alcohol–impaired driving among U.S. adults each year.

The CDC is a federal agency, and one of the major operating components, of the Department of Health and Human Services. The CDC’s mission is collaborating to create the expertise, information, and tools that people and communities need to protect their health – through health promotion, prevention of disease, injury and disability, and preparedness for new health threats.
