Seattle, Wash. – June 15, 2010 – Seattle wrongful death and car accident lawyer, Jason Epstein, recently founded a safe-driving initiative geared towards teens called Teens Against Distracted Driving (T.A.D.D.) T.A.D.D. is a movement promoted by Jason and other car accident lawyers from around the country who are tired of seeing our kids being killed by texting and driving, or by others texting and driving.

Recently, Jason was the subject of an article featured on Fox News’ http://www.q13fox.com (Seattle/Tacoma) titled CRIME BUSTERS: Lawyer Dedicating Life To Preventing Teen Texting Tragedies. The article, written by Darren Dedo, highlights one of the country’s most dangerous growing trends – texting while driving – and how Jason is dedicating himself to educate teens on the extreme dangers of driving distracted.

Through T.A.D.D., Jason is traveling to numerous cities around the state of Washington, urging teens in Washington and across the country to be aware of the incredible dangers posed by texting and driving, one of the America’s fastest growing causes of auto accidents. Part of Jason’s speech includes a very graphic video that brings home the reality of how dangerous even a few seconds of having your eyes off the road can be. Jason is also urging teens to pledge not to text and drive, and help him spread the word. The following is an excerpt of the article:

At the end of each speech, Jason asks the kids for something back, a promise wrapped around each wrist.

It’s an orange bracelet which says in texting shorthand, “I pledge to not text and drive.”

He’s only been doing it a few months and already Jason has gotten hundreds of local teens to sign on the dotted line. Allison Adams signed up.

“Yeah, I signed the pledge, I have a bracelet,” said Adams, “So, I’m definitely keeping my phone on silent cause the thing does go off and you’re like whose texting me. So, it’s going to be put away from now on.”

At the Issaquah Community Center, Jason convinced all of the teens including Nick Ryder and Alexis Newman, to keep the phones down and their hands on the wheel.

“I just don’t think it’s worth it I mean in life, there’s so much more, more important things to do while driving like concentrating on the road,” said Ryder.

Jason also launched and operates the Teens Against Distracted Driving website, http://www.TeensAgainstDistractedDriving.com, where teens can the pledge not to text and drive. Each person who signs the pledge will receive a free T.A.D.D. awareness bracelet that they can wear to show their support for the cause. The bracelets read “I Pldg 2 Nt Txt N Drv.”

Jason is included in a report about the dangers of texting while driving. You can also hear the audio on www.StraightTalkLaw.com/resources.

As the founder of Teens against Distracted Driving, Jason Epstein encouraged teens to take a pledge against distracted driving. More research is showing that teens are particularly susceptible to certain driving distractions such as texting or talking on handheld cell phones.

According to a recent study conducted by the Pew Research Center’s Internet and American Life Project, the average teen sends more than 50 texts a day. And, a shocking one third of teens send more than 100 text messages a day. With 74% of teens owning cell phones, texting is becoming the preferred form of communication.

Unfortunately, cell phones are responsible for causing numerous auto accidents. According to AAA, drivers who text are 23 times more likely to get in car accidents.

Seattle, Wash. – April 22, 2010 – Jason Epstein, Seattle Personal Injury and auto accident lawyer, has recently published a new book called “In Case of Death: Straight Talk on Washington Wrongful Death.” This book, co-written with Patrick Kang, is a helpful guide for anyone who has lost a loved one because of someone else’s negligent or wrongful conduct. Jason Epstein and Patrick Kang are partners at Premier Law Group PLLC in Seattle. They have handled thousands of Seattle personal injury cases, including many Washington wrongful death claims.

“Losing a loved one is one of the most devastating and difficult realities of life. This is especially true if the death was at the hands of someone else, or because of someone else’s mistake or carelessness. There are so many confusing questions about what to do and where to turn for help,” wrote Epstein.

This comprehensive new book was written because Jason and Patrick believe that “it is a lawyer’s duty to assist people by giving good, useful, and helpful information in their moments of need. Most of all, we believe in not using language that is difficult to understand.” Some of the chapters in the book include: “How Does a Wrongful Death Claim Work,” “Do You Really Need an Attorney,” “How to Choose the Right Attorney for Your Case,” “Insider Secrets” and “Beware of These Warning Signs,” among others.

Jason Epstein founded Straight Talk Law to provide a series of legal guides meant to empower accident victims and those looking for a lawyer. Straight Talk Law prides itself on providing the unfiltered truth about lawyer advertising, an informative website and blog, a new way to practice law where the lawyer communicates pertinent information directly to the client in an easy-to-understand way, and a law practice where lawyers share information with those who need it, and work on their clients’ case in an open, easy to understand way through effective communication.

On February 27th, Jason spoke at the Change Summit at Mercer Island Community Center to 120 youth leaders. On March 5th, Jason spoke at the City of Bellevue’s Youth Involvement Conference at South Bellevue Community Center. A public service announcement video that Jason showed left a lasting impression on everyone in the room as they were eager to sign the pledge immediately after watching the powerful video.

“My goal is to work with youth leadership to get the word out about the dangers of texting while driving and get as many young people as possible to sign my pledge to not text and drive. I hope to have kids all across America wearing the orange bracelets that I have produced and am giving away for free to anyone that signs the pledge that says, “I PLDG 2 NT TXT N DRV,” remarked Jason Epstein.

As a result of these events, so far hundreds of teens, their siblings and even some of their parents have signed the TADD pledge to quit texting while driving. TADD also was asked to sponsor an upcoming fundraiser, “Washington’s Strongest School Competition.” The competition will challenge the fitness of high school students who will compete to raise awareness around the importance of physical education and activity for healthier communities. The will benefit the Austin Foundation and will take place May 22nd 11a-4p at Memorial Stadium.

After these events, the response and request for Jason to speak at additional schools and youth groups has been encouraging.
