At Wells Call Injury Lawyers, we know the tragic consequences of drunk driving for families in Napa County, Solano County, and throughout our nation.

According to National Highway Traffic Safety Association, 37 people die every day due to alcohol related car crashes.    

As personal injury lawyers, we have seen firsthand the devastation these collisions cause for victims and their families. As a result, we believe that today’s youth will be the ones to help solve this problem. 

That is why we want to give back to our community by allowing local high school students to compete for generous scholarships. (Also, be sure to check out our outstanding teacher contest at wccbc.com/teachers)
