Founded by Jamie White, Allie's Way was established in memory of her 2-year-old daughter, who was tragically killed by a distracted driver. In Allie's honor, Jamie White collaborates with organizations across Texas to expose the dangers of distracted driving and advocate for safer roads throughout the state.
"Distracted driving hurts families. It takes so many people away from us way too early for things that can be easily changed," said Zachary Tritico, Jamie's attorney at Daniel Stark. "That may be the best thing we've been able to do to help the White family. Not by seeking justice in a courtroom, but by helping promote their message."
Distracted driving remains one of the leading causes of car accidents, often resulting in devastating injuries and loss of life. Accident attorneys and safety advocates stress the importance of stricter laws and public awareness campaigns to reduce these preventable tragedies. By supporting initiatives like Allie's Way, communities can help drive meaningful change and promote safer roads for everyone.
Jamie is rallying support for the Allie's Way Act, Senate Bill 47. The community can help by signing the petition here. This legislation aims to prohibit drivers from holding cell phones while driving. Drivers are still permitted to use voice commands for texting or making calls. According to AAA, states implementing similar laws have witnessed a significant reduction in distracted driving collisions, with over 40% fewer incidents.
Many crashes caused by distracted driving could be avoided with simple changes in behavior, such as putting phones away and staying focused on the road. Daniel Stark's lawyers, along with Allie's Way, continue to push for stronger enforcement of hands-free laws, emphasizing that even a moment of distraction can have life-altering consequences. Raising awareness and advocating for safer driving habits can help prevent future tragedies.
Allie's Way and Daniel Stark are committed to spreading the message that distracted driving is deadly and preventable, urging all Texans to adopt safer driving practices.
