Last year, Farah & Farah gave away $50,000 in free rides, ensuring nearly 7,000 safe drivers behind the wheel.
So, to prevent DUIs and crashes this year, partygoers in Jacksonville and St. Augustine can get a free ride to and from their celebrations by signing up for a $50 Uber credit or a cab ride up to 30 miles, using zTrip or Clean Taxi.
“Throughout our time practicing personal injury law, we have seen countless accidents on the roadways,” said Chuck Farah, senior partner at Farah & Farah. “This is why we worked to create an initiative to ensure people get home safely after celebrating the New Year.”
Residents of Jacksonville and St. Augustine are encouraged to claim their free ride in advance at FarahandFarah.com/NYE and to share this opportunity to get home safe and sound (for free) with their local friends and family. Farah & Farah is partnering with local bars in the Jacksonville and St. Augustine areas to promote and encourage safety for our residents and roads.
