Kalfus & Nachman Partner with National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to Raise Awareness About National Teen Driver Safety Week in 2018

NORFOLK, Va., Oct. 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Norfolk personal injury law firm Kalfus & Nachman PC has decided to once again partner with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in its annual effort to encourage greater safety awareness and educate parents and young drivers. In 2018, National Teen Driver Safety Week begins on Sunday, October 21, and ends on Saturday, October 27. This is a chance for parents to speak openly with their teenage kids and other young adults about the importance of safe driving and adhering to a set of non-negotiable safety precautions, such as wearing seatbelts and abstaining from alcohol and other drugs.

According to the NHTSA, motor vehicle crashes are one of the primary causes of death among teenagers ages 15 to 18 in the United States, outranking other prevalent causes of death, such as disease, violence, or bodily injuries. In 2015, nearly 2,000 teenagers died during accidents involving passenger vehicles, and approximately 99,000 others were harmed during such incidents. Common causes of these accidents include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Failure to wear seatbelts
• Distracted driving
• Speeding
• Driving with too many passengers

For Kalfus & Nachman PC, National Teen Driver Safety Week is a chance to prevent disaster and suffering in the Norfolk community, particularly for the parents of young drivers. It is also an opportunity for the firm to participate in community efforts to keep Virginia roads as safe as possible by reducing distracted and reckless driving.

The firm has been recognized as one of the community's leading advocates for public safety. Staff at Kalfus & Nachman PC regularly join regional safety efforts like National Teen Driver Safety Week in order to more broadly carry out their mission to make Norfolk a safer place. The firm also handles cases involving truck accidents, wrongful death, medical malpractice, dangerous drugs, defective products, and more.
