The attorneys at Casey & Devoti, a St. Louis-based personal injury law firm, have partnered with EndDD.org (End Distracted Driving) to present the Distracted Driving Student Awareness Initiative.
Casey & Devoti plans to deliver the presentation to four area high schools during the spring of 2016. Currently, the firm has three presentation slots available. There is no charge for this safety initiative, which aims to educate young drivers on the importance of eliminating distractions while driving.

The presentations are available to groups throughout St. Louis and southeastern Missouri and are perfect for any size group. A sampling of groups that would benefit from the presentations include, but are not limited to:
- entire high school student bodies, selected grades, driver’s education classes, high school sports teams, high school activity clubs
- church youth groups or other community youth groups
- boy scout troops

Last year, Casey & Devoti delivered the presentation to over 1,500 students at St. Mary’s High School, John F. Kennedy High School, St. John Vianney High School, and Ste. Genevieve High School.
“Distracted driving is a huge problem for people of all ages – not just teens. That is the message we want to get across to these young drivers,” said Matt Devoti. “We want them to be aware of the consequences whether it’s them, their parent or their friend who is driving distracted. The presentation offers eye-opening insight and concrete solutions to the problem that they can implement right away.”
EndDD.org (End Distracted Driving) was established to raise awareness and generate action against the epidemic of distracted driving. It was created by the parents of Casey Feldman, Joel Feldman and Dianne Anderson, after the death of their daughter, Casey Feldman in 2009. Casey Feldman was just 21 years old when she was hit and killed by a distracted driver. Learn more about EndDD.org and preview the presentation at www.EndDD.org.
